This week we gave a formal presentation of our results at a poster symposium in the OIMB dining hall. We stood by our posters and engaged with other members of the scientific and local community. For my part I enjoyed the two hours spent presenting my results, and discussing green crabs with other members of the OIMB and Charleston community. Leading up to the presentation this week I refined the fine art of research poster production. I spent a lot of time refining the graphs I posted last week to make them as accessible as possible to a reader. I am still a bit of a poster novice, but learned and thought a lot about how to communicate my ideas clearly to a viewer.
I want to finish this post up by saying thank you. This summer has been a phenomenal period of personal and professional growth for me during which I learned a ton about the research process, and gained confidence that I too could become a researcher. Thank you to the NSF for making this experience possible, to Bree Yednock for providing great guidance in my research this summer, and to Richard Emlet and Maya Watts and all the other OIMB faculty and staff who designed and ran the program this summer.

AuthorI’m a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying ecology and evolutionary biology. When I’m not doing science I love doing pretty much anything outdoors. I’m an avid backpacker, runner, paddler and rockclimber. Finally I love to read fiction in pretty much any form. Archives
