I can't believe we've only got a few weeks left! There's been so much going on each week time has been flying by. Except for a few more trips to the docks, most of my research is now complete. I am sampling abundance throughout the water column at different times of the day. Unfortunately, this means I have to take trips to the docks at night as well. My adventures have been fruitful, but waking up in the middle of the night sure has been difficult. The interns and I have also begun to work on our posters as well. I've never made a physical poster to present my research, so I am very excited to have something to share after this is all over. Outside of my research, I've spent most of my time with other OIMB students. Last weekend we had a movie night in the library and watched the movie Robots. It's been years since I last watched that movie, and I forgot just how funny it was. We also had live music at OIMB on Sunday! A group called Three for Silver has been here at OIMB for a one-week residency working in George von Dassow's lab. They put on a concert for us students in the dining hall, and it was so much fun. Their music genre is a mashup of polychronic jazz or folk futurism, which was a new experience. I was told they construct all of their instruments, which is pretty awesome. Some of the students and I liked them so much we went out to 7 Devils brewery on Monday and watched them play again. Honestly, this whole experience has been much better than I hoped, and it's going to be hard to say goodbye to all the friends I've made here.

AuthorHello everyone! My name is Dominic Eastburn. I grew up in Fortuna, California. For the past two years, I have attended Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. This fall, I am transferring to the University of Washington to pursue a BS in Oceanography. I am excited and grateful to be participating in Professor Kelly R. Sutherland's lab that focuses on the form, function, and flow of gelatinous zooplankton. Over the next nine weeks, I hope to develop valuable skills to prepare me for university and graduate school.
