Overall this program has been an eye opening experience. There were plenty of once in a lifetime opportunities that I was able to witness and experience with my own eyes. As well as this, getting hands on experience in the field that I would love to work in. On top of this, the fact that I got to see and swim with one of the smartest, most majestic creatures on the planet already made this trip 10/10. The fact that the work I was doing was making a difference in assisting with research. November 28, 2019
