What is your role in the L3<\/sup> lab? \u201cBug master!” Angie has been leading the processing of 2 seasons x 3 harvests x 32 #litterbags = 192 litterbag communities. Aq. Insect abundances range from 25-100 per sample, so lots of bugs! Stay tuned for a blog highlighting pictures of some of the aquatic insects Angie\u2019s documented! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fav aquatic insect? \u201cCaddisfly (Trichoptera<\/em>). I like the variation in their cases. Caddisfly silk is being studied as a potential waterproof adhesive. That this natural polymer can inspire product engineering is really cool!\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greatest challenge\/area of growth? \u201cWriting has been my greatest challenge. But I\u2019ve learned a lot about keying insects and getting through peer-reviewed papers, getting through them faster, understanding terminology.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quirky facts about the L3<\/sup> lab? \u201cHow we aren\u2019t intimidated by each other. We get to troubleshoot things together. We have a lot of independence in our lab, so we get to ask each other all the silly questions!\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your future goals? “Finish sorting and identifying all the MSH 2019 litterbag samples, co-author a peer-reviewed paper on the leaf litter study, work with Dr. LeRoy to become a better scientific writer.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snacks: What lab member’s lunch are you most envious of in lab meetings? \u201cIris or Joy!\u201d Who has the best field snacks? \u201cDeb has the best junk food, but Carri\u2019s sesame sticks are also a win.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you identify as a Greener? \u201cI do. I created my own path at Evergreen. It allowed me room to grow. I came to school for one thing, then my interests changed after working with science faculty. Now I\u2019m weeks away from a BS Degree!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
