2010 Twigs

f

A twig by definition is a small but critical branch of a larger plant or tree.  We name each of our research teams "twigs" to highlight the importance each of these small groups has to the collective SMU BioBlitz Research Project - it wouldn't be possible without them!  Twig groups and leadership vary year to year depending on the research area location and ecosystem.  Find out below which twigs groups will be onsite this year!
