Why Research?
I was interested in the field. I came across it working in the lab. It seemed like a good opportunity to do a research project.
What Did I Get from Research?
I want to gather knowledge of how to do a project. I also really want to understand the animal’s diet.
How Did I Start?
I worked in the Bell Museum laboratory that the faculty member oversaw. He was also one of my professors last fall.
Advice for Another Student
Keep your mind open, and see what is out there.
Research Summary
I am studying and measuring stomach contents of juvenile double crested cormorants. I may compare it to the adult to see if there is a difference between the juvenile and the adult.
