Hello again, friends. Sorry I\u2019m a smidge behind on the posting, but I promise to get you all caught up soon. With this workweek almost complete, there are only three weeks left in the program\u2026and I have even slightly less time left. Our presentations are about two weeks away, and I fly home the following Thursday so I can spend a couple days [frantically packing] at home before I rush back to start school the following Monday. I am saddened thinking about the end of the summer, but by the time I head home, it will have been ten weeks since I\u2019ve seen my family and eight months since I\u2019ve seen my roommates, friends, and beautiful college campus. So I am excited for this next \u201cera\u201d as well.<\/p>\n

The weekend before last was probably one of the most eventful of the summer. We had our mid-summer check-in where we all gave short presentations about our projects and participated in a couple of workshops about communication. It was great to hear about what the other scholars are up to in a more formal way (rather than giving each other a one-sentence rundown while lying around our apartment in our pajamas).<\/p>\n

One portion of the science communication workshop, given by Liz Cerny-Chipman, particularly caught my attention. I\u2019ve included a picture of the slide below. It depicts the category and risk level of different types of scientific engagement.\"IMG_2815<\/p>\n

Looking at this slide got me thinking about my place on this graph. I love to communicate with people \u2013 not in a constant, steady stream, but in a speech or report where I am able to provide important or useful information to a group. I love being the person to relay that information, whose job it is to both share knowledge (or make a convincing argument) and captivate an audience. I am not fantastic with children, and social media makes me nervous. The minute someone classifies something as \u201ca challenge\u201d or \u201chigh risk,\u201d my desire to do it increases by about 1000%. Thinking about all of these characteristics, I can\u2019t help but think that I might be right at home in the High Risk, Political Engagement Zone in the top right.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let you know in about ten years.<\/p>\n

After the check-in, we went camping at Trout Creek campground (near the town of Sweet Home in the Willamette National Forest). I haven\u2019t been camping since I stopped going to summer camp at 16, and I enjoyed myself immensely. Rare\/cool experiences from the weekend include: swimming in 37-degree, crystal-clear water; hiking to Moraine Lake, located above the tree line on South Sister; and remembering what 80 degrees feels like.<\/p>\n
