Week 20

Another fantastic week has come and gone in the Independent Study and Mentorship Program. This week, I received nearly a dozen pictures of wildlife from around Frisco neighborhoods, which will be incredibly useful for our story in the spring. The pictures ranged in quality, but will all be helpful.

Here is one of the best ones of a bobcat taken on Bay Hill Drive:

With all the incredible camera shots I've already been sent, I will need to focus on video footage as well. I am still working on finding a GoPro camera in order to shoot video of the wildlife in the area. 

In other news, my mentors and I have been working on the earthquake story which will be airing in early February. When I went into the office on Thursday, I located all active, plugged and licence-revoked oil wells in Tarrant County and Denton County, and then Byron visited some of them to complete further investigation as to whether fracking is the cause of the unusual earthquakes. Hopefully, my contribution to the story will be an awesome original work for ISM this year.

Working with such incredible investigators has been an honor. I can hardly see what the rest of the semester holds!
