A research scientist kindly let me visit their lab and experience their work day:
 |
| Visiting the science building! |
 |
| Wonder what goes on behind these doors... |
 |
| The research scientist was getting tired, so I'm taking over digging through sediment samples. |
 |
| I spy with my little eye ... ephippia. |
 |
| Consulting the literature... this stuff could put you to sleep! |
 |
| Taking a break outside. |
I got to sift through sediment and count pieces of zooplankton that I found. Where was all the colorful chemical pouring that I see in B-rated sci-fi movies, with the serious head nodding and grimaces? You mean to tell me that isn't real?
Next time I will have to be around for a field work day - go out in the boats and take samples.
I didn't mind being a researcher for a day, but I think I will stick to traveling!
