Today was a day. As we are all gearing up for the end of the program, the presentations that come along with it, and our posters that are due tomorrow at noon, we didn\u2019t have much time to go out and about. For most of us, our day was dominated by statistical and graphical analysis, polishing our posters\u2019 content, and struggling to format our long lists of acknowledgements. A few students working at FHL headed to the labs early this morning, for the first of their three trips of the day, to finalize data collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long morning of stress-fueled productivity, we regrouped at the dorms for a beach lunch at Eagle Cove.Scarlett, Nina, Max, and Caleb all went swimming while the others spent their time on the sand laughing and looking at the driftwood. So far, every workday has been broken up by a nice long lunch break, giving us students the much needed chance to touch grass and mentally refuel before returning to our work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon mirrored the morning in terms of productivity by the students. However, thanks to Cara, we could also snack upon delicious rice crispy treats, lemonade, and sweet tea from her very successful lemonade stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight Helen Yip and Dr. Joe Heras have been gracious enough to agree to join us for dinner and give a talk on both DEI and genetics. Ms. Yip<\/a> has worked with WISEST (Women In Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology) in order to promote the presence of women and genderqueer people in STEM (you can find the link to the very cool WISEST women-in-STEM posters here<\/a>) and has a master\u2019s in biology, with a focus on marine biology.\u00a0 Dr. Heras<\/a> works using gene sequencing to look at the history of evolutionary adaptations in fish. His research program also examines how gene expression and the gut microbiome of fish shape their dietary specialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
