Old Tricks

• Returned to the PhD proposal after working on mussel experiment design. Made good progress on writing the methods sections, objectives and research questions. I feel like I matched the tone of the rest of the proposal and the MS proposal. I continued with creating a shortened version for chapters 1 and 2, and read two papers that I previously only read the abstract for.

Tomorrow’s Plan
