I learned so many lessons that will be applicable throughout the entirety of my career in science. My favorite parts of my internship were all the times I was able to interact with other people interested in the Oregon seafood industry. I loved Fridays when I could join my mentor, Angee, at the Newport docks. I also enjoyed the interviews I had with industry leaders up and down the Oregon coast. Overall, I felt the most connected to the coast when I could interact with people who had deep connections with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feeling is something I hope to carry into my next step as a scientist. I am currently living in Guam working towards getting my masters degree in coral restoration genetics. While working here I plan to establish a relationship with community members and other scientists. By learning from people who have lived with and studied this area far longer than I have, I should be able to deepen my respect for corals and integrate a diverse range of disciplines into my work. In addition to expanding my community here, I plan to continue making science education videos and posts. Instead of posting about Eat Oregon Seafood, I will shift to posting about coral restoration research. I also hope to make some videos that may help demystify graduate school for students who don\u2019t initially see themselves belonging there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/193308470@N06\/51392045269\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51392045269_001188d465.jpg\" alt=\"069DA7C0-9B34-4A28-B9F9-BC1C3345686D\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Our first field day in Guam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/193308470@N06\/51391569158\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51391569158_f2afd2c27d.jpg\" alt=\"407416B5-ACF7-464A-BCA0-E7033E55EE88\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Corals located right behind the University of Guam Marine Lab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I will spend three years here in Guam completing my masters (and I can already tell they are going to be three of the best years of my life).

I am positive that I will continue to appreciate Oregon seafood management from afar and use everything I learned this summer to look at my current work from different perspectives.
