Cercocarpus betuloides

I am amazed at this summer

I got invited to a research institute offered through the graduate college that is part of the garden

all these smart, hardworking people got flown in from all over the country, to learn DNA sampling and SEM technique

and I’m treated like one of them

It’s amazing to realize, that I actually could be one of them, that I can keep up intelectually

I can do something with my life

obvious statements, but discoveries I needed so badly

love and orchids
