"I enjoyed learning how to use new tools and collect samples. Before I began the internship, I knew that water quality samples were being taken by organizations such as the UCRA but didn't fully understand how the samples were taken and analyzed. Being able to not only see how the process works but to also collect the samples myself was very interesting and fun.
I also just like being outdoors and getting the walk around in the water!"
"I learned so much from my time with the UCRA. I feel like I am more confident as an aspiring scientist. I gained knowledge about what the team does and stands for.
I can take what I learned and expand on the concepts I was especially intrigued about, like marcroinvertebrates."
