I am in a bit of disbelief that my time here at OIMB has come to an end. This week, we scrambled to finish our posters and pack up all our stuff. I had been dreading the poster symposium all week, but we had a great turnout and it was so much fun to share my hard work. Before coming to OIMB, I did not feel confident about my ability to conduct research. I was anxious about the idea of designing my own project. Thanks to the mentorship of Kelly, Joanna, Richard, Maya, and Nicole I was able to grow so much over the course of the nine weeks. I am much more confident about abilities going forward and can't wait to see what challenges Udub will present. There are so many things I am going to miss about OIMB. Most of all, I will miss the friends I made in my short time here. I'm going to miss our late-night DQ and Taco Bell trips. I'll miss going to the library and pretending to work just so I could hang out with them. After feeling so lonely over the past year due to COVID, this experience is exactly what my heart needed, and I am so thankful to have met you guys.

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.
