This summer, Abigail Jewett, an Earth and Space Science Education major, took learning beyond the classroom through the Intro to Shark Research Skills Field School, gaining valuable experience in marine research and field science. ๐ง ๐
โI think the biggest highlight was pulling in a nurse shark with Laura. It was crazy to see something that big so close. It was also incredible to get that hands on experience.โ
We are so proud of Abigail for embracing this unique opportunity and expanding her scientific knowledge through real-world research. Experiences like these help prepare future educators to bring authentic, engaging science learning to their future classrooms. Congratulations, Abigail, on an unforgettable summer adventure! ๐๐ค
A special thank you to Biology Education Professor Erika Martin for bringing this incredible educational opportunity to ESU students. We appreciate her commitment to providing hands-on learning experiences that help students grow as scientists and educators. ๐
