Day 14 – Common Products Presented

June 17, 2013

Today was a slow day at the barn. After Shelby and I put the finishing touches on our powerpoint, we had lunch and killed time as we waited for the presentations to begin. Once the presentations were finished, I was able to consider the types of data that could be used to help influence my research question.  It was exciting to see what the other groups had been working on all week, especially since it is so easy to become consumed by your own data collection and processing.

After dinner, a few of us went to the sheep and goat pen to feed the animals and were surprised to see a one day-old lamb huddling by its mother. We then went back up to the barn for another meeting on the possible research questions that can be addressed with the available technology. Although it was a very informal conversation, it was helpful to hear all the different options for individual research over the next two weeks. I look forward to receiving feedback on my potential research questions over the next couple of days.
