Well readers, the journey has come to an end. My experience at OIMB was very enjoyable. Being at the Coastal Trophic Lab (CTEL) was great. I still like doing field work but video analysis isn’t bad either. I thank Dr. Galloway for accepting me in his lab and for teaching me about echinoderms like sea urchins and sea stars. I’m glad I got to learn from him and others at OIMB.
This week was mainly focused on the poster session Friday. On Monday, I had a final session with Dr. Galloway in which we made the final changes on the poster. On Tuesday, we had a our final lunch with Maya and Nicole. We also had to submit our final draft of the poster and have a program debrief in the afternoon. In the debrief session we discussed what things that we liked and disliked about the program among other things. On Wednesday, we had lunch with Shon Schooler from south slough. He told us about the different places he worked and what caused him to come to Oregon. After having lunch with Shon Schooler, some of us took a trip to Hall Lake. Hall Lake was really beautiful, it’s basically a lake in the middle of dunes and forest. Sebastian, Gina, Colleen and I climbed to the top of the dunes, it was a journey but it was all worth it because we got to see everything from the top. From Hall Lake we went to Domino’s because we didn’t make it back in time for dinner. On Thursday, Sherlyn and I took a trip to a cave off of Bastendorff Beach. It was pretty cool cave and it led to a semi-secret beach which is only accessible through the cave. I’m not sure what the true backstory is on the cave but I heard it was made for a train to deliver construction material when the docks were being built. On Friday, we had our poster session which was great. A lot of people asked interesting questions and showed interest in my project. Initially, I was a bit nervous but after the first few minutes those nerves were gone.

AuthorGreetings, blog readers! My name is J'mie Lawrence and I'm from the Caribbean island of Grenada. I've spent the last year at SWOCC (Southwestern Oregon Community College). My current objective is to earn a transfer degree so that I can enroll in a four-year university to study marine biology. Being able to do marine research with Dr. Aaron Galloway at OIMB is incredibly exciting for me because I've always had a passion for marine biology. Archives
