Benoit, Benjamin and Cong have come back from China and the OIST website interviewed them. To learn more about how ants are collected in the field and see some pictures of the trip, read this detailed report entitled Behind the Scenes in Ant Research.
Benoit, Cong, and Benjamin are in Xishuangbanna, China collecting ants in different habitats. Sounds like they are having a good time and have already found a bunch of cool species. I am extremely jealous. More from them soon.
