Hi, my name is Tam Huynh. I am an honor undergraduate
senior in my third year. I major in Biology. My mentor, Dr. Inna Sokolova, is a
marine biologist and also the Vice Chair of research in my department. Her
focus is about intertidal species and how stressors affect them.
Currently, I am in the middle of my honor program. I
start it since the spring semester. It just happened that I heard about this
summer research program from my mentor. I think this is a chance to introduce
myself to the university community and represent my department of biology
(along with two other students) to mingle with people from other departments of
various disciplines. So basically, I combined the two programs together, very
convenient, right?
I am working as an undergraduate assistant for my supervisor,
Sandra, who is a master student from Germany. I was given a small piece of her
study which focuses on a species of clam, Mercenaria mercenaria, on the effect
of carbon dioxide and metal toxicity on these organisms.
If you check our program’s facebook page, you can see
I usually post short updates on what happened to me on a particular day. The
blog has the same purpose but I don’t see any link that says “start a new
entry” or any similar, so I can’t post the blog on my own, and has to ask Dr. Livesay
to post it for me.
