Hello, so week one is coming to a quick end and I have done more than I thought I would! This week, I helped my mentor participate in a research project that is being conducted in various places around the country. Our part of the project was to create sampling devices and deploying them along different spaces at the docks. My mentor also gave me a tour of the Oregon coast showcasing various beaches and trails that highlight the beauty and history of Oregon. I applied to this REU to gain knowledge on what it is like conducting research. At the end of this program, I hope to know if a career in research is something that I would like to do. I am currently split between doing research or applying to medical school, so I hope this internship will help solidify my decision on one. I am looking forward to our boat trip that is happening this weekend and I’m a little nervous about going camping in a couple weeks, but only because it will be my first time and I do not know how to prepare. Other than that, I can’t wait to see what other exciting things await for the remainder of my stay.
