Today in Marine Ecology we presented our group presentation data! Matt wanted a "creative" aspect to the presentation and all three groups delivered. The oceanography group told the tale of our trip on the Gulf Challenger and the data collected at the various sites while on the boat. The group depicted the tale through shadow puppets and powerpoint. They studied the relationship of the three sites and how factors, such as salinity, light, and depth, differed and interacted at these sites. Next up, the Nahant vs. Lubec group, depicted a sad story of the Oregon Snail which goes through some hardships like being drilled by a Three Seas student, eaten by a crab, and eventually dying of desiccation. Despite some very confusing numbers and graphs, the group pulled through and showed the difference of species, diversity, and evenness between tide heights and the two locations. Finally, the "snail pee" group (my group aka the best group) played our video of Matt reading Caden (Matt's son) and Summer (Sal's youngest daughter) a lovely bed time story about the interactions of snails and seaweed. (Caden ironically wanted nothing to do with the snails and wanted to read a story about space.) We then closed our presentation with a powerpoint explaining the rate of change in ammonium in different treatments with no organisms, snails, seaweed, and snails and seaweed. Everyone's presentation went extremely well and are now preparing for our final presentation in Botany tomorrow! BRING IT, DON!
