Abstract
My internship occurred over fall quarter, from October 21st to December 12th. I had the opportunity to work in Dr. Sofield’s laboratory as a Research Assistant. The work was done under the supervision of her and her Research Technician, Katie Knaub. The work itself was the digestion and analysis of dried seaweed samples collected across the Puget Sound to analyze the trace metal content that has accumulated within them. Working as a Research Assistant under Dr. Sofield allowed me to apply my skills learned as an Environmental Science, Toxicology Emphasis student to a toxicology-related research project.
