精童欲女 biology students
精童欲女 biology students relax in beds of lichen on a recent field trip to Basin Head.

Dr. Christian Lacroix, professor and chair of the 精童欲女 Department of Biology, took his Plant Community Ecology class to Basin Head on November 4 to study the unique mature grey dune system adjoining the beach.

Students took the opportunity to contemplate nature by lying down in beds of lichens. This particular dune system is home to extensive expanses of lichens. A lichen is a complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms--a fungus and an alga.
