GMRI MSSM SERC acronyms galore add up to good times! |
I had the chance to go catch up with students from the Maine School of Science and Mathematics for a weekend of learning and sharing about research careers here in Maine. The students left the potato fields of Limestone, and I left the bustling metropolis of Portland, and we met up at the Schoodic Education Research Institute along with scientists from the National Park Service, MDIBL, Jackson Labs, and GMRI. Katie Wurtzell (of Team Gastropoda fame), Graham Sherwood, and I (aka SuperStar) were the researchers representing GMRI and sharing their work with the students. |

Limpets |
Today, we all traipsed down the rocks of Schoodic Bay in search of aquatic life. Adam had previously set traps out the night before in hopes of catching something other than mollusks, which is what we ended up finding. The majority of mollusks that we found were snails; we were also fortunate enough to encounter a limpet. |
