Started this morning out at a breakfast get together for On To the Future scholarship recipients. We sat and listened to a speaker share on her experience at the Bighorn Basin Field Camp. Afterwards, I spent some time alone thinking about all I have learned while being here. It's been nice taking a little time here and there to reflect. Next, I mozied on over to a karst technical session that was focused on interdisciplinary methods of analysis. Josh Blackstock from the University of Arkansas gave a fantastic presentation on the use of an open source program called PAST in the analysis of sinkholes of the Ozarks. Later in the day, after a foot long Subway sandwich and a quick nap, I met up with some friends and walked over to Edgar Allen Poe's cemetery. I finished my day at the conference in the karst poster sessions. This is where I had the opportunity to meet John Mylroie, a favorite geologist of mine. We talked for at least thirty minutes about Bahamian cave formations. I was so stoked. Getting to meet and talk about research with him has been a highlight of the trip. I also was introduced to a man by Dr. McMillan who has been using drones to create high resolution aerial imagery. Tomorrow morning I am meeting with a woman to talk about a graduate program I am interested in. Thanks for the read!

P.S.
This is a photo of me yesterday in front of my research poster. Had the opportunity to talk with a lot of people about my work, their own work, and anything else that came up.
