Finally done with the excursions (the last one today being to a rather putrid smelling salt marsh), I can at last settle down to do my project. Do any topic you wish, Kirby-Smith exhorts, and on a whim I decide to investigate sea lettuce. Why not? It doesn't bite or nip or run away and you don't have to get waist deep in mud to collect it. All positive things. Now all I have to do is figure out what it can do. Taking up space in the lab has been its only destiny so far.
