Hello again readers!! We’re almost to the end of the program. It has be an adventurous journey for me and I’m glad I got to experience it. Since I finished the sea star count and the density count, I’ve just been working on my poster in the lab. Besides working on my poster, this week has been a bit quiet. On Tuesday we had our weekly lunch with Maya and Nicole which is always delightful. In the afternoon we had a professional development session that was catered towards leadership training. It held via zoom and was conducted by the Holden Centre on UO main campus. The session was informative although I thought more leadership skills would’ve been discussed.
On Wednesday we met with Ed Hughes who gave use pointers on things we should try to do as young scientist to capitalize on our experiences. On Wednesday we also had a zoom seminar with Melva Treviño Peña from the University of Rhode Island. It was titled, “Engaging with diverse communities: From “listening” to bring them into the research”. Unfortunately, I was unable to hear much due to technical difficulties on my end. After the seminar, we had our poster critique in the dining hall classroom. We got feedback from Richard, Maya, Nicole as well as our peers. I think we all got really good feedback and used the feedback to make the necessary changes to our posters for the final draft submission to Richard and Maya on Friday. We had a part two to the seminar on Thursday with Melva Treviño Peña. This seminar was titled “This is the way?: Carving our own paths in academia”. As the name suggest the seminar was focused on how we carve our way in academia. It was very interesting seminar and I gained a lot from it. On Friday, I sub mitted my final draft of the poster and by Saturday morning I got back my feedback and started working on making the changes. Saturday afternoon we visited the South Slough interns and had a crab boil at their house. It was great, Ytxzae handled the crab cooking and he did a great job. We used the European green crabs that were caught by the sought slough interns. Though they didn’t have as much crab meat as other crabs, they tasted good.

AuthorGreetings, blog readers! My name is J'mie Lawrence and I'm from the Caribbean island of Grenada. I've spent the last year at SWOCC (Southwestern Oregon Community College). My current objective is to earn a transfer degree so that I can enroll in a four-year university to study marine biology. Being able to do marine research with Dr. Aaron Galloway at OIMB is incredibly exciting for me because I've always had a passion for marine biology. Archives
