First Semesters Almost Done

By -
About a week more until I reach only having one more month left to finish up my first semester at ASU. It’s crazy how time flies especially this college year around. I feel like time flew faster at ASU than my two years at Phoenix College. I also feel like I’ve had less relaxation time at ASU than my time at P.C. My first semester at ASU so far has been kind of drowning because this is the time where I feel like I have to start planning my career path and looking into what medical schools and licensing careers I want to try and get into. This semester has been a lot of just trying to keep up with all the homework assignment and exams and quizzes that some professors will throw at the students as a surprise. I have definitely made new friends who in my calculus class have helped me a lot and always make class a little more tolerable. I do miss a couple of things from P.C like my past professors and especially Dr. Cotter who made class always a delight to come to. I am still currently working as a volunteer in Dr. Polidoro lab. Her lab consist working with clams and examine if their was any microplastic contamination as or chemical contamination. So far this lab has been the best experience. Everyone from the lab is extremely nice and will teach you something new everyday, any questions you have they have no problem taking the time and helping you explain something or simply showing you how a protocol is properly suppose to be done. My goal for next semester would be to try to get more involved in school activities and clubs of some sort. Also take advantage of the free stuff that being an ASU student provides. I want to open up my schedule next semester more also to take more classes and also work more hours in Dr. Polidoro’s lab.

    It definetly seems like you have your hands full. I've been feeling quite bogged down by homework and study myself this semester. Luckily, I haven't had any surprise tests though. I think it's amazing that you're working in Dr. Polidoro's lab. I was hoping to sit down with her because I wanted to do research in her lab next fall semester when I transfer. I would love to hear more about the research you're doing there. Take care!

This week in Lab the only plastic I am waiting to weigh is SPI6. The reason this one is taking longer is because when I rinsed it with DI water it soaked some of the water up which meant I had to leave it in longer to dry out than the other plastics. Then when it was completely done drying I put the hydrogen peroxide to get rid of any nature products that could have been left behind. Right now they are still drying, until they are completely dry is when I will then be weighing it and that will conclude my last sample for weighing. After that I will finally have all data to analyze. I will be determining which extraction method/ water solution works best on microplastics. I will also be determining plastic loss in all three different solutions and see if there was a was to better change the protocol that the NOAA developed for extraction of microplastics from sediments.

This week in lab I finished all the NaCl samples that were run through the vacuum machine. I also ran them with hydrogen peroxide for at least 3 days so that it could get rid of all the nature particles that could be perhaps ruin the measuring at the end. Once all the samples were dried there were some that had sodium chloride attached to them, so because that could have been also a percent error when measuring the plastic I had to clean them and wash them off with DI water and run them through the vacuum machine again. In the process of doing that I ran out of the filters that are attached to the machine so I really only got done with half of the 30 samples. Matt will be ordering more filters the following week but mean while I will be getting the next samples ready that will be run with potassium carbonate. I will have to shred more plastic for all 30 samples again. I have finished collecting sediment and those will be distributed. Really wish we had one of these machines that could

Abstract: Arizona: Lakes, Ponds, and Canals potential impacts of chemical exposures on aquatic bird species   Surface water in metro-Phoenix is contaminated due to urban pollutants, impacts from water reuse, soils, and other human interactions. Harmful contaminant levels, in addition to Nitrate-N, Phosphate- P, temperature, and dissolved O2 may possibly have negative consequences on resident and visiting bird species’ populations. Therefore, we conducted a two-year study of bird use of urban aquatic resources across the metro-Phoenix area, which has raised concerns about the transfer of chemical contaminants from surface water to bird species. The pattern that we see in bird populations in urban aquatic resources appears to be seasonal, with some study sites showing a year-round pattern of use. For highly-used aquatic sites in particular, we report concentrations of water contaminants that may be impacting aquatic bird species. Given that Phoenix is part of the Urban Bird Treaty pro
