Starting Off

I am the graduate assistant for the Po Plain study working between the research and outreach aspect of the project. I have been working with Ceseley (STEM intern) on how to communicate the research aspect of the Po Plain Project via a website to communicate paleontology and sequence stratigraphy to the public.

Meetings with Ceseley are going very well, I always feel I talk her ear off, but I think she understands more of what we are doing and why we feel it is important. Recently, I have mainly just talked about the research aspect and tried to give her a story type explanation of the interactions and interworkings of the Po Plain. I really wanted to give her some excitement about the project and understand that from just one shell you can tell a whole story about it and that it is really interesting. I hope I have at least made her excited about this project, but with me not having much to give her so far, I hope it all works out.

I have written half of the website for the project so far and I feel it is going well. I am trying to write sections for the website describing the project, the research aspect, sequence stratigraphy, paleontology, and quantitative methods. It is slightly overwhelming, but I got to do it.
