Today I learned a lot about the research done by staff both in and out of the museum. I probably will not be able to get first-hand field research experience during this program, but I got to discuss several staff members’ research projects. Additionally, Dr. Gerwin is working on contacting some staff members at Prairie Ridge, so hopefully, I can go see the work done there. It turns out that Veronica (one of the volunteers) used to be Vice President of the NC Herpetological Society and she encouraged me to join. Overall I had a productive day, I learned a lot from my conversations and helped out with some more organization projects.
