Spent majority of time in the field collecting terrestrial data via the Fulcrum Data Management application for later review in the office and lab. This data included both biological and abiotic vectors and required the utmost attention to detail in order to accurately follow specific protocol sampling methods. Processed collected samples in lab using equipment including microscopes, mass balances, drying ovens, ultrasonic baths, Wiley Mills, and an orbital shaker.Additionally, assisted… Show more Spent majority of time in the field collecting terrestrial data via the Fulcrum Data Management application for later review in the office and lab.
