The Blog: Expedition to Vietnam

I invite you to join me as virtual members of a scientific expedition to Vietnam! I have been awarded a fellowship from the Earthwatch Institute to study butterflies in the tropical forests of Northern Vietnam. Check out the Butterflies of Vietnam Expedition website to find out more!

During the week of May 14-18, I will be in the Tam Dao National Park in Vietnam capturing, documenting, and studying butterflies. I will hold two live classes via a satelite phone. In addition, you will be able to follow my progress and ask me questions on a daily basis using the blog below.

The blog on this website has been created in order to allow Mr. Bucs' students, friends, and community to share in his experience in Vietnam. Please focus your comments and questions on the expedition.

Rules of the Classroom


The sign shown above was posted in every classroom of Tam Dao Public School. In fact, it is in every classroom in Vietnam where teenagers are taught. They are the words of the former president, Ho Chi Minh. A translation is as follows:

1. Love the country, love the people.
2. Study hard, work hard.
3. Unite and follow the rules.
4. Keep the environment clean.
5. Be honest, brave, and modest.
