We're staying here (the Agronomics Campus, Kourou).
We're here and ready to start wasp-chasing! Drove to the field sites for the first time today - it's an hour's drive through the forest to a little village that been there since the 1600s, full of colonial houses painted in bright colours. And, of course, the odd wasp ;)

    Hi! I'm Patrick - an early-career postdoc in behavioural ecology. I completed my PhD in 2019, focused on Polistes paper wasps in South and Central America. I'm currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and Simons Society Junior Fellow in the Rubenstein Lab at Columbia University (New York) and the ​Radford Lab at the University of Bristol (UK), looking at the social behaviour and evolution of Africa's incredible wasps! I'm always keen to get involved in outreach to spread the word about these amazing animals.
