I'm BAAAAACK

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. My apologies, but I was on Spring Break and that sweet taste of freedom has infected me with a severe case of Senioritis. But I’m back, and this project is still going. So here’s an update on my three goals.
1. Still trying to raise awareness. In addition to this blog, I’ve been telling friends, family, and strangers alike about what I’ve learned since I started my research. I’ve just finished three incredible articles which I will be sharing with you in a later post.
2. I’ve revised this part of my goal. Instead of surveying consumer awareness, my prior video will be part of my goal to include other people’s thoughts and opinions in my blog. I’ll be interviewing a few experts and people who are involved in the fishing industry.
3. Almost all the materials I need to sequence DNA have arrived, so this leg of the project will be started soon. To prepare for this, I’ve been reading papers detailing how other researchers have done similar projects. While I only understand about 40% of these papers, my teacher is helping me to learn exactly what I’m doing. I’m hoping to record another video documenting my steps.
So that’s what is to come. Stay tuned!
