Who says girls can't brave the heat or the mosquitoes for water testing? Sci Girls I had a unique experience with Greg Hitz as we explored the Leon Sinks Geological Area. Here we were introduced to some of the largest natural sinkholes found in the United States and actually got a chance to collect and compare water samples from a deep spring and a shallow spring. We then trekked out of the forest back to the vans and zipped back to the Maglab to listen to a presentation by Dr. Cynthia Jones, a Biopharmaceutical Science Professor at Florida A&M University. This was truly an interactive time for the Sci Girls as they were able to question and receive information from Dr. Jones that encouraged them to remain passionate about their future. The day ended with a "Super Scientist" game as the girls worked diligently to try to figure out 34 occupations associated with science. Day 9 is over which means tomorrow is the last day for Sci Girls I 2013. What shall we uncover under the sun on Day 10? Only a Sci Girl can tell!
