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.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!


I'm sitting here at the Bradley Airport at gate 9 waiting for Delta flight 6033 and I am really psyched about the journey ahead! I am so grateful to all of the help and support I've received in the last 2 months. My 7th graders sent me off today with a little breakfast "bon voyage" party (the cinnamon rolls were fabulous). I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my family and friends and the staff, faculty, and students of White Brook Middle School for your encouragement, support, and financial assistance. You are all awsome!


I look forward to sharing my experience with all of you and can't wait to hear from you. Oops! Looks like my plane is boarding. I'll keep you posted.
