The MSU students are back from China, where they explored the culture, looked for fossils, and studied dinosaur eggs in the laboratory. They have been sending their dispatches to us over the past couple of months, which you could read on the Expeditions blog. Here is, compiled all in one place for ease of access, the list of all of their posts:

I hope you enjoyed their writing (you can thank them in the comments), and perhaps they will do this again next year.

In the meantime, if you are going to do field work and are interested in blogging your experience at Expeditions blog, let me know (BoraATsciamDOTcom) so we can discuss the logistics.
