2nd Tuesday Happenings: Non-stop Counting

1. First, Not again!!! 1,000,000,000,ooo,oo1, 1,000,000,000,ooo,oo2....
The non-stop counting of spikelets. First, we harvested 5 panicles for each plot. Then we again threshed and counted it. Was it boring or was it not?
2. Last, The Setup of the Great Light Trap
First of all, a light trapis a trap that will trap insects. The insects trapped will be counted by their own kind and the countings will be the researchers data. Light traps are little house-like structures that has light in the center. The insects will then be led to a "balde" that has detergent powder, water and alcohol. Though it may catch as many insects, the data it may give is a bit non-significant because in every square meter, there are different kinds of insect that may go there. The setup was only to mix the ingredients of the liquid that will be put in the "balde". It was easy.
