Before this internship, I thought I would want to pursue a career in academia. However, this summer has shown me there are so many other paths I can take while still doing exciting scientific work. I can totally see myself pursuing a career with a state or federal agency now. Being able to communicate our data so readily with the public is what sparked my interest in pursuing this different path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional development opportunity arose to work on an independent data project. So, I\u2019ve also taken time this summer to learn how to code in R, which is a programming language for statistics that is often used in ecology. We\u2019re looking at habitat associations between the different clam species in Tillamook Bay. I\u2019m still working on the project, but I\u2019m excited to present my findings at the symposium next week! Coding is completely out of my comfort zone, but it\u2019s such a valuable skill to have in this field. I\u2019m hoping to continue my R learning after this internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest thing that surprised me this summer is I don\u2019t mind getting up at 4:00 AM to go sampling. Who would\u2019ve thought?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2022\/08\/Resized-20220804-104652-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2022\/08\/Resized-20220804-104652-1.jpg 756w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2022\/08\/Resized-20220804-104652-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2022\/08\/Resized-20220804-104652-1-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Photo 1. <\/strong>Emma Chesley cooling off in a dry suit in Tillamook Bay.
