Day Nine

Same old same old at internship.  I identified a bunch of flies, I just have three more vials to go before I'm done with the USA flies.  I am definitely improving, Q confirmed one fly for me and pointed me in the right direction for another. Tomorrow we're allegedly going somewhere for fieldwork, but I'm not too sure anymore.  It is raining right now, so I don't know if we'll be able to go tomorrow.  In other intern news, I may be giving a talk at the Daily Planet (the globe sculpture/theater I've mentioned before).  I don't know what I'll do it on, I would like to do bee fly reproduction or maybe parasitism, but I'm also kind of interested in the role flies play in the environment, and if flies could fill the role as bees as pollinators if bees go extinct.  I'll figure something out, and I'll talk to The Doc about it.  That's all I have to say for now.  There will be more to write about tomorrow, even if there isn't fieldwork because adventures in cooking real food!
