My past year in the Foster &amp; Baker lab has allowed me to develop that love into a wonderful learning experience. Last summer was spent helping Miguel with his diet research. We studied how early life diet restrictions influenced growth, and eventually endurance, of stickleback. This summer I\u2019m starting my own research, also stemming from early life history, specifically on whether tannins in the water influence feeding performance. As vegetation breaks down in the water, protein binding compounds called tannins are released. These are plant defense compounds that can reduce the ability of animals to use the proteins with which they are associated so they may impact growth and survival of young fish. Along with my research I\u2019m also helping the lab raise this summer\u2019s new fry, which means a lot of cleaning mason jars!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Outside the Lab<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Outside the lab I spend most of my time doing various forms of art. As the daughter of an art teacher, I love doodling, and painting, I used to do quite a bit of film, and most recently I\u2019ve picked up crochet. I\u2019m also an avid television fan, I could go through an entire series on netflix in a week. Finally, if raising 100s of fish wasn\u2019t enough, I have four fish, including my own stickleback!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since my first summer at aquarium camp in elementary school I\u2019ve loved working with marine animals.
