I jointly presented research that Renee Swetz and I performed in our Methods in Environmental Science class (ENVS 275) In our study we investigated the effects of urbanization on a small nearby urban watershed by quantifying and analyzing stream flow and water conductivity. I personally felt that presenting a poster at such a conference was a challenging experience since the audiences were all experts in the field of geology and they clearly knew more than me. Nonetheless, I was really amazed at how they appreciated the work that I did as only an undergraduate. It was equally interesting to attend poster presentations and oral sessions by other people especially learning about research in the field that I presented my poster in (accompanied by a few \u2018aha, I know what you\u2019re talking about\u2019 moments). Overall, the conference was a wonderful learning experience with an added benefit of being in a beautiful resort overlooking the mountains and a few perks of staying in a popular vacation resort.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2013\/03\/sama-again1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-106 \" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2013\/03\/sama-again1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2013\/03\/sama-again1.jpg 700w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2013\/03\/sama-again1-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2013\/03\/sama-again1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is just one more piece of evidence that Sama&#039;s adviser can&#039;t get one decent shot of his advisee.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sama is a junior who has participated in various research projects with professors Geiss and Gourley.
