Today, I learned about the different terminology for shots, which will come in extremely useful when creating these videos. Also, having a set of common terms for these shots will help a lot with communicating how each of us see the clips we want to create. Also, I learned about how we clean specimens here at the Academy for storage in the collections, which is absolutely essential for properly preserving these specimens for future use and research. In the collections, I also learned about an anecdotal use of the stored specimens: old egg shells collected in the early 1900's were used to demonstrate the effects of DDT on bird egg shells recently. Similarly, I learned that collections are kept so that in the future, when we have newer technology or need for research, we will have a glimpse back into the past.
