Week 8 has been quite the week, from consistently editing my poster to continuing injections and imaging for my second project. I can’t even count how many times the content, image sizes, and overall layout of my poster have changed. At this point, I’ve elected to treat it as the ever-shifting culmination of my summer’s work, with the intrinsic property of always needing edits. That’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed being able to put all of my work together in a way that really highlights what we found this summer. My improvement in how long it takes me to inject the eggs itself is only proof of how much I have learned and grown in the past 2 months lol. While working on posters took up a large part of my week, there were a few highlights worth mentioning. For instance, George’s graduate student Erin brought in a whole bucket of blueberries (which were delicious by the way), a nice and unexpected mid-week pick-me-up. Also, this past Saturday me and some of the other REU interns went to Hall Lake, which is a beautiful lake with sand dunes that let you look out to the ocean. I’m surprised I even swam out as far as I did (for those of you that know my swimming skills they are sub-par) (a little ironic for someone working in marine biology but what can you do lol). Even still, this week has been a nice mix of work and relaxation. Wrapping up everything has been hard, along with the bittersweet idea of leaving Oregon. I have built a lot of really cool relationships with all of the other interns; it’s going to be so sad to have to say goodbye to all of these people that have made my summer so special :(. Well, until next week for my last entry…
