A Few Tips from the Field
In the relatively short amount of time which I’ve been at A&M, I’ve spent a lot of time in the field doing research. I am in the Agriculture department, so working in my field literally requires working in a field. My particular research project requires an intensive set-up stage. As such, I’ve been working at my research site quite a bit. I recently completed the last major part of setting up my project.

I’d like to share some tips on making research trips for any of you that also may be visiting literal fields for your work.
