“The highlight of my summer was learning that to be a researcher is to be vulnerable,” said junior Jonathon Lin, who is majoring in environmental studies. “You need to accept confusion and uncertainty in order to get results." This summer, Lin — pictured here at his workspace in his backyard in Seattle, Wash. — participated in the virtual research internship program hosted by the USC Dornsife Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies (uscwrigleyinst). He studied functional diversity and taxonomic levels within the Southern California Bight ecosystem.
