| Discovery Notes | The soil was wet, possessing a mud-like texture as it was obtained from the side of a stream. The sample was initially a dark brown coloration with few light brown spots. Sample contained biodegradable plant organisms such as roots, flowers, and duck feces; the composition of the saturated soil consisted of sand and organic matter. Soil was retrieved from the surface of the ground and down about 2-3 inches below surface level. The time of day was 3:40 p.m. on January 8, 2019. |
| Naming Notes | My name is UY. SEA-PHAGES has taught me, as well as my peers, what it means to fail or to mess up in science. Even if a procedure was performed correctly, there were times when the experiment still did not work. It was discouraging. But the lesson I learned is that sometimes, to get to who and where I am today ("uY"), it required me to go backwards first ("Yu") in order to fix and perfect previous steps. My mistakes were no longer setbacks, but opportunities to make me a better scientist. |
