Taking back my education, one step at a time. Dealing with both my physical and mental disabilities has been tough, but independent research has given me direction - a path to carve for myself. With the support of my entomologist mentors and a community of likeminded individuals, I hope to someday uncover valuable information to share with the greater scientific community. Currently working on a project regarding behavioural analysis of a captive Tetramorium immigrans colony, using an ad libitum binary sampling regimen ethogram.
