What I've Done I have mostly finished my press release. I just have to look it over and add captions to photos. Plans for Today I will make final revisions to my press release. Plans for the Future I will ask Ms. McDonald to look over my materials and methods.

What I've Done I started planning what I'll write in my press release. Plans for Today I will continue to draft my press release and decide on a catchy title and theme. Plans for the Future I will continue to work on my press release. I hope to finish it by the end of next week.

Contact with Mrs. Zrada Date of contact:  February 13, 2018 Contact:  Mrs. Zrada Reference:  Writing the Results Portion of Our Research Paper Discussion:  Diana and I asked Mrs. Zrada the specifics of what should be included in the results. We also asked whether or not it is similar to the raw data analysis portion of our paper. Conclusion:  She said that she was unsure of what it entails and to consult Ms. McDonald and Mr. Zrada for further information.

Abstract This project is a longitudinal study of the Uca minax fiddler crab species at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The purpose of this study is to determine the status of the population, whether or not it is increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable. This has been done by repeating the same method over the past years, and will continue to be repeated in future years. Fiddler crabs are counted at Spermaceti Cove during full and new moon phases at low tides during late spring to early fall, the species' breeding season. After conducting statistical analysis of the quantitative data collected over the years, it shows that the population is remaining stable. As this is a longitudinal study, as more years of data are procured, different conclusions may be drawn by comparing all of the sets of data to each other.
