Good day, ladies and gentlemen!<\/span><\/p>\n

What did we do today? Well, it was a dark and stormy night\u2026. No. It was morning. Against our will, we were awakened at the way too early time of 6:30 am. We dragged our feet down to the breakfast, a meal of heavenly taste. Cereal. Toast with a multitude of condiments, including butter and jam. Then we set off for the day, to Deadman\u2019s Bay, where we met with Dr. Hilary Hayford. Dr. Hayford is a UW biologist who is interested in intertidal ecology at Friday Harbor. We got to participate in a pilot study that looked at changes in snail feeding behaviours due to temperature changes and environmental stressors. We also spotted a river otter in the tide pools! After some fieldwork and a long-awaited lunch, we joined Dr. Rebecca Guenther, a phycologist (studier of algae), who taught us about algae life cycles, species identification, and even helped us press our own seaweed art! After the interesting lectures, we had an amazing dinner with Jennifer Olson. Jennifer works at the Whale Museum\u2019s Stranding Network Program, where she coordinates rescues and research for marine mammals stranded on the shores. After dinner, we sang Happy Birthday to Evelyn\u2019s dad Michael. All in all, it was a great and educational day. <\/span><\/p>\n
