Phytoplankton on the brain...

After enough time has passed in school, when artifacts of real life like doing laundry and eating complete meals are but a memory, things begin to get a little weird. Until last thursday I had spent the last six months examining nutrient dynamics and phytoplankton growth on the puget sound, and now that it is over, I'm at a loss for non-science activities, and I'm finding that my work has recently been making it into my crafts. There is a knitted nautilus doll in the works for a fellow 'Marine Life'r (which can be found here), and just today my classmates and I discovered the joys of creating larger fridge magnets with Scanning Electron Microscope photos! We've also taken many photos with the Zeiss microscope, which is basically a camera attached to a compound microscope, and I just think they're all so pretty...
