Today we made over 200 bags. As for the hot meal, we served pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs along with a salad. Towards the end, we ran out of bags and needed to make a few extra which is always a good sign!

I'm taking the GW course- BISC 1008: Understanding Organisms Through Service Learning, taught by Professor Tara Scully
As part of this course, our class has been engaging in a variety of alternate community service activities, as we adjust to the COVID-19 crisis. Community service is required as part of our grade in the course.
This submission is completing for the "Smithsonian Digital Volunteer" task. The description was to, "sign up to help with biodiversity and historical document transcription."
I helped transcribe documents from the "Women's History" and "Biodiverse Planet" sections of the Smithsonian online library, including work from astronaut Sally Ride which was very cool.
This opportunity was something I didn't know was offered before the virus outbreak, and I found super interesting. It's at least a small reminder that some tiny good things can come out of this terrible event we're currently experiencing.
I transcribed more documents from the Smithsonian and learned more about the exploration of William H. Dall.
I read and provided positive feedback on poems from Free Mind clients
I created an infographic on invasive species in CT. This included research on invasive species. I then picked the two invasive insects as my subject. I researched them and compiled information and graphics. I then designed and executed an infographic on the topic. This was helpful to me beyond Bio because I know what insects to look for that could be harmful. I also got to use graphic design skills which will help me in the future with my career goals.
Created an info poster about social distancing

Made a stuffed peppers recipe for my family.
