Andy Heim internship with research experience for undergraduates (Huntsville, TX)
hey y'all I'm in Texas and I think the heat may be a little too much for me. We average between 95-100 degrees, and I'm in the part of Texas where there is humidity. Currently at Sam Houston State University I am working with my mentor on a research project involving the bullhead minnow and blackstripe topminnow. Fish are not necessarily my favorite, but this experience has given me a new appreciation for them. I have been here for nearly a month and I have learned that research is not for me. I am having fun and learning a lot, but teaching and doing research would not motivate me to skip to work everyday. However, things are going quite well and I will be sad to say goodbye. :)

I'm having trouble with the heat down in Tennessee too, so I know how you feel. I'm a Maine tempurature girl all the way!! :) Hope you have an awesome rest of the summer!!!
Pssh it can't be that hot...stop your complaining and enjoy counting those inverts :)
Thanks for your honesty Andy. One of goals for internships are to help students understand areas of strengths and interest. Sounds ilke your area of interest in not in research. :)
Any thoughts on what aspect of Ecology you might be interested in?
Keep us posted.
