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...

It is the end of August, our internship is almost over, and school is starting next Tuesday.

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...

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...

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...

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...
