On July 24 I met with Dr. Kiersten Darrow, who is the research curator at Cabrillo Marine aquarium, to discuss if my goals for my senior project were compatible with either their young scientists program or what their aquatic nursery could provide. In the end she decided that my working eq matched up well with the type of work and studies they did there. Dr. Darrow agreed that I could work with Cabrillo for my senior project. Because I will not be in state from 8/02-8/17, I will start working there on August 18. I do not have a mentor yet but Kiersten mentioned a few candidates that work there and so on the Sunday I start, she said she'd introduce me to them so we can see which would work best for me and my project.
