For some reason, I can't get the link (above) to the "questions" page to work. I think it is an issue with Blogger, so here is a link to the "questions" page. I'll try to fix this later, if I can.

New blog format, where/how to ask questions.
If you followed this blog last year (when it was "Eric in Antarctica"), you are probably noticing that I have changed some things. Here are some answers to questions you probably have.
WHY DID THE TITLE CHANGE?
I changed the title because I am hoping to get other biologists to contribute to the blog. I will be traveling and conducting research with Jeb and Adam this year, and they have volunteered to answer questions and post entries. Jeb has been doing research in Antarctica for about a decade, so he has lots of stories and knows a lot about the history of Antarctic research.
HOW DO WE ASK QUESTIONS?
This is a work in progress. I anticipate getting questions from a few different schools throughout the country, so I had to change things a little bit so I can archive the questions in an organized manner. If you want, you can post questions on any blog entry and I will try to respond. For example, if I post an entry on mummified seals you can post a question related to that topic in the comments, and I will answer post in the comments. However, if you want to ask me or any of my colleagues a question, any question you want, unrelated to anything I have posted, you can use the "Ask Questions Here" tab. Under that tab, I will have created a post for the current month, and you can ask your question in the comments. I chose to do it this way so that questions will be archived by month. Also, if you are particularly curious, and would like me to post a blog entry on a specific topic, this is the place to ask.
OTHER QUESTIONS???
Please feel free to go to the "Ask Questions Here" tab and ask away.
WILL THERE BE MORE CHANGES TO THE BLOG?
It's possible. I may add pages and try to organize things better. I'm not a web designer, so things may change as I learn more about how blogger works. I will try to make things easy on you, the reader. Also, I will probably add a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page at some point.
