Short Lab enters Web 2.0 (finally)

I am very excited to unveil a pair of new lab websites that went live yesterday. The first, at http://sites.google.com/site/theshortlab/, is a new lab homepage and replaces our old one I kept at hydrophiloidea.org. This page is an entire new build, not just a data migration, and it has LOTS of new features that I will discuss in future posts (not all of them are rolled-out yet).

The second site is a comprehensive data portal for our active Venezuela survey project: http://sites.google.com/site/vzaquaticinsects/home. It has all the standard, requisite information like lists of collaborators and habitat summaries, but also will be the primary means we share all of our locality data, habitat photos, water quality info, etc. There are still a few kinks to be worked out, but I am giddy with excitement to finally get this thing off the drawing board.

I hope you will find these new sites useful.
