Why hello there,
I figure now is as good of time as any to describe the events leading to my involvement in this class. I was working on my Honors Project under Dr Fincke. She has been working with polymorphism in damselflies for the past several years at the University of Michigan Biological Station. I had Dr Fincke as my Evolution TA as a sophomore. One day she said she was looking for a field assistant, and the next day I was in her office. I had never been to a Bio-station before, but it sounded like the kind of place I just had to check out.
The summer at UMBS was one of the most entertaining summers of my life. Working during the day, swimming in the afternoon and singing karaoke every night just seemed like an awesome way to live ones life.
At the end of the summer, Dr Fincke suggested that I spend the following summer working on my Honors Project with her help. Unfortunately, this meant I was to be on Sugar Island instead of at UMBS, but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up on.
After a few months of planning, we came up with a pretty nifty experiment. A short time later I was on Sugar Island doing my first independent project.
I'll get into the experiment itself tomorrow.
