😎 Pretty cool and collected
This Week
- I had a really fun time earlier this week going through HHL field training, but mostly for the Lab Olympics! I am very proud to say that I am an expert on guessing measurements in both inches centimeters. We had some really creative games and I'm glad the crew had a good time. As a plus, now everyone knows how to jump and change the tires for CJ.
- I went through the mussel data that we had in excel, cleaned that up, and sent it to Katie for reporting. I've also helped a bit with filling in a few areas in the report.
- The rest of the week I've been working through my sticky notes. I got rid of 8 this week as of Thursday morning.
- I've also been spending some time as the microscope, working on a never-ending Pelee sample and doing some QC work in between.
NEXT WEEK
- Thiranya's defense on Tuesday!
- setting up Grace in the benthic room and opening up a sample on Wednesday!
- meeting with Katie and Amy on Thursday!
- Field work meeting at 1pm on Friday!
- The following week I am taking off to attend the Center of Forensic Science Conference! ( June 10-13)
EXTRA EXTRAS
None!
