I completely lost track of time with this project, and it has been such an enriching experience. I can’t believe the official time is over. I am so thankful for PIRE research coming when it did. It gave my summer some sense of normalcy in a very new and different world. I have learned more in these past few weeks than I could of imagined. While it would have been amazing to travel to my site, circumstances pushed me to learn independently at home and grow as a researcher.
I have felt a sense of community throughout this whole summer regardless of everyone’s location. It is not nearly over, and I am looking forward to the continuing work into the fall. Thank you PIRE.
