Morgan Krause: Dear Reader, It’s Okay to Mess Up. Keep Going.
To reintroduce the topic I have chosen, I am investigating the future outlook of a small, coastal community amidst the decline of one of their historic industries, oyster harvesting.

As I continue my research for this summer, I have been absolutely enraged and pleased with the project in front of me, as is the way with anything creatively enriching.

Progress, Funding, and a Feline
Now that we’re getting farther into the summer semester, and I’m getting farther into my IDEA Grant project, I’m glad I’m getting to put some of the skills I’ve developed during previous research experiences to use. On Saturday, I finished writing an abstract on the association of body fat percentage with the variability of autonomicContinue reading “Progress, Funding, and a Feline”
Learning the Research Ropes!
For the majority of May I was home and taking advantage of some much-needed relaxation from the spring semester. Also getting in as much family time as possible. I have included a picture of my beautiful beach back home! This was definitely a crucial and much needed time away from all things school. At theContinue reading “Learning the Research Ropes!”
