Visit to Adam Summer’s Lab"},"content":{"rendered":"

This morning we woke up at 7:30 and had time to wake up, get ready, and eat before heading to the UW Friday Harbor Labs. <\/span><\/p>\n

We met up with Adam Summers<\/a> again and got to explore his comparative biomechanics lab<\/a> and talk to him about his science equipment and experiments. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He talked to us about his CT scanner and we got to see scans of beetles, piranhas, and a rare deep sea hagfish.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were also shown his 3D scanner and he showed us\u00a0a bright yellow yoda head which was a highlight of the trip. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, I think the very most exciting moment was when we got to see the 6 gilled shark that had washed up the day before. It stank very badly, but it was also super exciting. Adam and his students are going to dissect and study it next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the late morning, we finally put all of our data together on a spreadsheet so we could all look at our data together. This took us around three hours including some breaks with music and Pokemon. We then hurried back to the dorm in order to surprise Quinn for his birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn is\u00a0officially 16! Happy birthday dad!! We created\u00a0a giant card for him and had cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and fresh Skagit Valley blueberries and raspberries. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn\u00a0was pleasantly surprised. Of course, later we had to get back to work, so we headed back to the Spring Street science lab to input more data. <\/span><\/p>\n

For our free time before dinner, we explored town collecting Pokemon and going to pokestops. Currently, 8 out of the 10 of us have PokemonGo, and it\u2019s becoming quite the addiction. Of course, we are never more interested in Pokemon than science, but it\u2019s good to pass the time and relax. <\/span><\/p>\n

For dinner, we had chicken kabobs, yellow rice, and cuc salad. Because of a resceduled guest presentation, Seth and Tim drove us to Roche Harbor to get ice cream and watch their nightly routine called Colors. They had a VERY small and VERY loud cannon that scared us all. We checked out all the nice boats and watched the sunset. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was a very long day\u2014goodnight!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
