Through Biological Scholars I was able to embark on my first trip for a bug field research. Our objective was to collect little black bugs in an Ohio gorge for Dr. Chordas Field Research. It gave me the opportunity to see a bit more of the hands on aspect of a research experiment. Although, I personally did not have much success collecting the little black bugs, I was still able to learn more about them and Dr. Chordas work. Furthermore, I was able to successfully help another student capture a grasshopper for his work as well. This opportunity gave me an insight to other fields within biology, conquer my fear of bugs, experience research outside the lab, and meet new people.
