Spring Quarter
Whoa-
What an insanely busy few weeks it has been! I have definitely taken my time getting re-adjusted to the US and the rainy/sunny/snowy/windy/freezing/warm Pacific Northwest. Currently, I am enrolled in a program called Invertebrate Zoology and Evolution, and it has been great so far.
Here’s the description:
Most of our time is spent in a lab setting, learning about marine invertebrates and learning how to use a Scanning Electron Microscope, and Auto Montage Scope and a Zeiss Scope. Our classroom sits on the 3rd floor of the lab building and has multiple tanks filled with all kinds of critters from the Puget Sound. We have Jellies, Sea Anemones, Crabs, Sea Slugs, and will be collecting more throughout the quarter. I am looking forward to a change in pace. Recently, I have been studying vertebrates, so the inverts are a completely new thing to me, but that’s a good thing!
