AELers gathered for another successful Work Day to clean out the detritus of the year on July 16. 

Left to fester and grow, dirt and disorganization spread to unyielding proportions throughout the AEL during the course of a single year of enthusiastic field and laboratory work.  The so called “tragedy of the commons” results from use and misuse of the lab and its materials by busy students, techs and work-study students, too busy to clean up after themselves.  Therefore, Work Day was created to reorganize, repair, and sweep clean the past years wear and tear on the AEL.  A successful Work Day will provide a clean and efficient work environment for the year to come.

We had another wonderful breakfast provided by Casey & Lindsey, frozen treats and sports drinks from Jim, and ended the day with pizza from Stu. Everyone was very enthusiastic and we got more done than we had hoped!
