OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN A CRAZY WEEK.
So our contraption has been a slight set back, but we are on the come up! Do not worry folks. If there is one thing I have learned about research and science, nothing works as you thought it would and you will spend three times as much you thought you would spend on doing something. Me, Steven and Erica have been moved into the fancy crab lab, that is able to control the pH pretty darn well. On Friday we went to this remote island that has a land bridge only when the tide is extremely low. We saw so many new animals that we haven’t seen when we usually go to South Cove. There was everything from Sea Stars to all different types of worms! Then we finished off week 7 with a bonfire. I can’t believe I only have two weeks left here. We got the chance to do some public outreach this past Saturday at the Charleston Marine Life Center. It was so awesome finally being able to share all of the things we have learned about ocean acidification and the research projects me and Steven have been working on all summer. It felt good to share what we know to the public and know that people are interested in it and want to do things to back on their carbon consumption. This past Saturday, all of the REU A couple of other interns went to Bastendorff beach and boogie boarded till our hand were numb from the freezing cold water we up here.
