My roommates and I get along really well and I can always count on someone to bake wonderful pastries for us to eat. I\u2019ve made a point to explore the city and my walks usually end with me grabbing some food from anywhere that catches my eye.<\/p>\n<p>My research is going really well and my favorite part of it all is doing field work. At first I was a bit hesitant about rolling in mud but it has grown on me. The purpose of my experiment is to collect ghost shrimp from different sites in Willipa Bay to see if they contain a parasite that affects their behavior. The parasite comes out when it\u2019s in the stomach of staghorn sculpins so in order to get the parasite out I have to recreate the stomach acid of the sculpin using a pepsin digest. I\u2019ve completed a few digestions for my nematode project and I actually found the parasite we were looking for which was really exciting!! I can\u2019t wait to finish all of my digestions and see the areas that the parasite occupies.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love my lab because my lab mates and I are really close and we spend most of our time laughing rather than working. I can\u2019t wait to see what the rest of the summer holds!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So far my time here at Hatfield has been truly amazing.
