It's the time for the #BuiltEnvironment sampling!

CE369L students,

It is about time to start your projects! Last week @yeipijotape (JP), Alex, marwa and Dr. Kinney gave you an introduction to the sampling we will be doing during class. The objective of this post is to make a brief summary of what we will be doing. We will have 11 groups of students and the idea is that all of you will be taking #metatada measurements along with biological samples.

Regarding the biological samples, you will be taking samples with: swabs, wipes, plates (already located in the classroom), a "Button" sampler, and an impinger. The samples not only will be taken inside the class but also on the corridor and outside.

As #metadata we will be measuring: #CO2, Relative Humidity and Temperature, surface temperature (for those samples involving surfaces), air velocity, particle counts by size and location coordinates (special coordinates system to specifically locate the samples in the building).

I will be preparing your sample kits and structuring your sample sites. There will be some hypotheses behind the sample locations selections (some of you already suggested some in class).  Feeling the fun already? It will be fun!

Get ready your smartphones to scan the codes and start typing your data.
