Darcae blog 13 (NOOO! I dont want to leave T.T)
Sadly, today is our last day here at the Field Museum and I want to add that this summer has bee better than any other. School has yet again ripped apart the fun of summer like a cat eating a bird. Luckily, this school year won’t be so bad since we are going to be seniors!! That means we are going to be applying to colleges and universities. Nevertheless, I wish I could work for the rest of...

Never Can Say Goodbye
Unfortunately, today is Darcae and I last day at the Field Museum. We start school back Tuesday. I am very excited to start school because I miss my friends and teachers. Plus, it will be my last year in high school before I go off to college. Although, I will miss all the people I met here and the exhibits that I learned a lot from. Most of all, I will miss our boss, Dr.Drew. He is an amazing man...

Darcae blog 12(Success!! We're getting known!)
This is our last week and so far it’s ending in so much publicity (in my opinion). With the College that change lives college fair Sunday I believe Amber and I made a really good impression with all the college counselors that were there. We didn’t just go there and talk to them like normal teens. We researched the colleges we were interested in and emailed their counselor of our...

Blog 8.18.12 (We are home!!!)
We are back home in Chicago! We had such an AMAZING time! Washington D.C. was so awesome I did not want to come back home. I admit though that it really feels good to be here. I feel the love, happiness, and flaws all together, and it makes me love Chicago even more.
More about the trip, people told me that I was going to hate it that my ears were going to pop and more. Well when we got on the...

Darcae Blog 11 (DC! DC! DC WOOT!!)
What are some words I would describe my trip?? Fun, true but to obvious of a word. Awesome, used that too much. It was radical to epic proportions! Everything in DC was just stunning and unbelievably colossal in person. Everything you would see in pictures was nothing compared to the real thing 20 feet away from you. Pictures just can’t give the thrill the actual monuments give you in real...

Darcae and I asking museum visitors and employees about conservation. The meaning of conservation, the local and global threats, and how some of them practice conservation. Take a look.
Blog 8.10.12
What’s up everyone? I hope that everyone is feeling awesome today. We have been having a tremendous time preparing for our trip to Washington. We still have four days in counting until the big trip of me and Darcae lives. Though, I’m still a little shaky about getting on an airplane, I can’t hold back the enthusiasm about the work we will do and places we will see there. It is...
Darcae blog 10 (Interviewed WOOT WOOT!!)
Today, August 10, 2011, we faced another challenge that would soon put a unbelievable pressure on us, once more. A interview from Helen Scales from Naked Oceans, a science conservation podcast site that ask scientist from all around about conservation, the ocean, and questions about the endless ocean it self.
After a nerve racking morning of preparing for the interview over the phone, using a...

The Amazing Events of the FM Interns
For the past two days, Darcae and I have been going to Field Museum Interns’ project events. The first event was Ms. Allison’s FELI, their projects were based on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases. They really worked hard and educated us a lot on solar panels vs. coal factories. They told us how if affects causes pollution and affects habitats, homes, and more. Best of all, they gave...
Interns....Assemble and form AWSOMENESS!!

Amber and I seen the awesome things they have did this summer and we want to help give them as much publicity as humanly possible! After all interns have to stick together right?
That’s why I want you all to see...
Darcae Blog 9 {Super Tag Team Action!!!}
After working on our PNG (New Papua New Guinea) identifying and sorting, we finally finished our week labor, of putting our PNG fish in jars, Friday. Yesterday(Monday August 1, 2011), however, we started part two of our process of adding the PNG fish into the Museum’s collection. The most dreadful part of any thing you must do!! The paper work, more specifically the 3177...
Blog 8.2.11 (What a day)
Today was all about adding the amounts of fish and filling out paperwork for them. It was a lot of work and made our team really tired. Last week, we finished putting the fish in jars. Monday, we had to record the number of fish in each jar for every station. A station is the place where marine biologists went to catch their fish. Anyway, we worked as a team and got it done. The smiles that were...

In the last couple of days we have been putting our blood, sweat and tears into our “Papua New Guinea” fish sorting project, that’s not the actual name, but it’s the one i give it. In this project, in which I made a simple name for, Dr. Drew,Amber, and I have been down below the museum in the C.R.C(Collections and Resource Center) or in other less confusing letters( forming...
Blog 7.28.11(The Best Surprise Ever!)
Man we have not blogged in a long time. Things have been going really awesome lately. We are almost finished with labeling Dr.Drew’s fish from Papua New Guinea and North Samoa. Darcae and I are becoming really good with matching fish in families. Dr.Drew wants to make sure we are getting a lesson out of everything we are doing at the Field Museum. I will say that we definitely are!
We also...
Darcae Blog 7 (Delayed, but not from work July...
For the past 3 days Dr. Drew, Amber and I have been measuring the Samoa Amblyglyphidodon that Josh( a.k.a. Dr. Drew) caught there on his last trip. It may seem routine to some of you reading this, but each measurement we did, no matter how alike each fish looked, turned out to be different. It’s interesting to look at two fish that look exactly alike, measure them and find out they each...
