After the second day of working
today, everyone was in the groove of things. We got to the first worksite in
the morning and started working right away. There were still a few questions
that needed to be asked because everyone was doing something new again, but we
put those out of the way at the beginning and started to work. We were able to
go to twice as many worksites (4) as yesterday because we were all working so
smoothly, and partly because yesterday we had to move because of polar bears. I
was personally catching frogs at all of the work sites. This might seem
pointless to you, but we would take these frogs and extract blood from them.
With this blood, we take them back in the afternoon to the lab and extract the
plasma from the blood to look at the stress levels of the frogs when they are
caught. We look at the difference between 5 minutes after being caught and 25
minutes to see how much more stressed out the frogs are. So far we are all
having a great time!
