It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through Week 3 of our summer together! The time is going by so fast and I’m really enjoying my stay at Horn Point Lab. The campus is located right on the Choptank River and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. I love being close to the water and surrounded by the local wildlife-even the critters that come right up to the window, as shown in the picture!

Enjoying the wildlife on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

I am very lucky to be working with such a great team. We each offer a different point of view and I think we all mesh very well together. I feel as if I’ve already learned many new skills and I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer. I’ve been able to go out into the field for some water sampling and even got the chance to meet one of the farmers- after he rescued me from going the wrong way on his property! I am very excited to take what I’m learning here back to the classroom this fall!
