The wet season always means we resume our mistletoe work. The good news is that we got our permit to work in the private reserves. It's been an interesting game of hide and seek with the elephants. We all wanted the Marula trees. @Saeonews

We are continuing with our mistletoe quest in and around Bushbuckridge, and today we got bitten by wasps, we saw a black mamba and one member of the team almost got choked by a Strychnos spinosa seed😆. Fieldwork at its best. #mistletoes #SAEON #postdocdiaries

It was a great pleasure being a Guest lecturer for the Research Methods module. Of interest, this is the first cohort of the Masters in Geospatial Sciences at NUST. #Postdocdiaries #SAEON #NRF
