Michael Holt: Week 1 Recap

This week has been a great introduction to the REEU program. Getting to know all of the other interns has been nice, and I can’t wait to see how we all work together in the future. We went on a field trip to the Indiana Dunes National Park and learned about the diverse ecosystems and ecology, as well as how to ask helpful questions that will aid us in our research. Writing a research proposal has been difficult, but I’m enjoying the opportunity to challenge myself. Next week, I’m excited to learn more about extension and outreach by working with high school students from McCutcheon High School!
