Do the hustle!
If I still had myspace I could just make your computers explode into disco when you opened my blog, aren’t you lucky tumblr doesn’t offer that service? Well, it is definitely hustle time here. It seems like I say that every week, but this time I mean it! This is the last week of classes, next week is study (and finish final reports) week, then is on to something new!
I’ve been dealing with piles of data, figures and statistics for my Environmental bio interactions class with a practice presentation tomorrow and actual presentation Friday, and final write up due next week. It was a pretty interesting project but a little rushed. I worked with a partner, and I think we worked well together which always makes things easier. We studied how plants and roots were affected by the presence of decaying roots of the same or mixed species from the same environment (European grassland), and we found significant results is a few species. Some plants preformed better with same species roots and some with mixed species roots. Below ground interactions between plants is really a new and challenging frontier in plant science.
Next term is my interdisciplinary project, and we get to pick our top three choices for topics from a long list and I REALLY hope I get my first choice because it’s exactly what I want to do! The project it titled “Designing effective support systems for non chemical pest control in greenhouses”. I have my fingers crossed! I am also applying to an internship at Monsanto involving insect biocontrol.
But for now, it’s decompression time. Disney music and knitting!
