Internship #5

I am still trying to figure out what type of project I am going to do. I need to talk to my mentor about it... She was not in today but I will speak with her about it tomorrow. I know what the basis of my project will be about.
It will have two parts too it.. one revolving around the question of the different species in the vernal pools and the other question having to do with the density of cysts in the core samples that were collected. I'm hoping I might be able to set up a microscope with the samples that I work on everyday. I took a lot of pictures when I went out and collected samples from the vernal pools yesterday and I took pictures of the species that were dried up resulting from the dry season.. meaning no rain. So maybe I can do something with the species in the dry season versus the wet season.... not really sure yet. I hope I will be able to finalize everything by tomorrow when I talk with my mentor!!

Yesterday was amazing though. Best day EVER! I went out and collected samples from the vernal pools. It was kind of a long description.. I know my mentor wants me to do a protocol for the methods that we took to collect the samples.. So that would be a part of my project as well. I learned sooo much yesterday! and i will continue what i learned in my blog tomorrow because i dont have time right now!! hahaha
