So far I have gotten a lot of work done and I'm learning a lot. There are many different scientist here and they are all studying things that are very different from one another but they still work together and help each other with their work. I know that their studies are very important, some are studying coral and marine life and some are doing human research. So far I've had to be very responsible because I'm out of the classroom and doing an actual job, I don't always have someone looking over my shoulder 24/7 to make sure that I'm doing what I'm suppose to or that I'm where I'm suppose to be. I have so be responsible for my work and mature so that I don't mess my project up.
While being here I've had to use a lot of what I learned from my chemistry and biology class. I've had to search the lab for various chemicals and it was really helpful that I actually knew a little bit about some of the chemicals, it made it easier for me to find them. I use a lot of the same skills in the lab that I do when we have labs in biology class. Those skills have been very helpful to me while I was here
