Foram Project Day 1
I started working today on my foram project for GSA. I mixed Tragacanth gum that I found in the Conodont room with about 2" of water in a solo cup and mixed about a teaspoon or two of the powder with the water. It took a while to stir, but it was holding sand grains okay, so I think the forams should stay just fine too. Here's my general overview of when to get stuff done by: Picking: Sept. 30th Sign up for GSA membership: Sept 30th IDing: October 31st Abstract: October 31st Poster work: November 30th - December 31st or later? GSA Research grant: October 31st- November 30th Other travel grants (President's Council?) November GSA Abstracts Due: 16 January GSA Early Registration Ends: 5 March GSA 16–17 April | Ames, Iowa Iowa State University Now I just need to figure out how many forams to pick from each sample. More would be better, and a number divisible by 100 would be nice for percentages... I have enough slides that I can do 8...
