1. I am completing my mentorship at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
2. My original contact was Mike Schaddt, the director at the aquarium, taught me a lot, but later handed me over to my current Supervisor Andres Carillo who is in the process of getting his doctorates.
3. I have completed 65 hours so far, but plan to complete more for the first independent component.
4. To summarize what I do at the aquarium, I feed various types of marine life, clean up after the feedings, set up tanks sometimes a specialized habitats where Ipoly project ideas come in handy, I collect plankton, crabs, and shrimp from the shores of the nearby beaches, I help teach kids from middle school kids from East LA about different terms and habitats in marine biology, play with new instruments such as a salinometer, talk to the public about the animals, research in the library, observe animal behavior, learn new things everyday, I perform experiments currently on jellyfish, and have a lot of fun while doing it.
