Internship #3

I am working on a project with my internship that has to do with collecting cysts from the soil samples that were collected from last year. I don't really know if this will be enough of a project to do and elaborate more on the stuff I am working on everyday..

I am developing biology skills with this internship and I'm learning that to start out in the research field you must start as a worker for another researcher. What a coincidence! I enjoy learning about the fairy shrimp and the studies that have been conducted in the past couple weeks. I'm really interested in going out to collect some of the samples.. I dont know if that will happen. I also want to learn some more about the fairy shrimp and what we are doing collecting the cysts from the site samples. I am working with a group of college students because it is during their intercession time and they hadnt been getting as many samples finished.. but now that there are probably up to 6 of us that come in everyday, we are getting a lot of the samples done which might entail us to collect site samples!!!

  2. sounds cool, but make sure you get your project approved by a teacher or robert kuhl or something so you don't end up with a project that doesn't count!
