Today was spent mostly doing research, finalizing our video topics, and conducting some interviews of Academy scientists. My team and I have decided on the specimen preparation topic I talked about yesterday.
Over the course of today, I have learned a lot of new science and technology related tidbits. One of the scientists I interviewed today talked about how in order to collect specimens from the field, the Academy needs to have at least 3 different permits from both state and federal departments. This seems like it is a good way to make sure that specimens are procured through ethical and legal means. I also learned about how to interview someone today. It is essentially like having a conversation where you aren't allowed to say anything while your interviewee is speaking. It was a bit difficult at first, but I got the hang of over time.
