Occasion: Research and poster presentation
All summer, the twin has been working hard on a research project she came up with all by herself. As seen in the picture, she had to do lots of tree measuring and wearing really high boots and not getting bitten by snakes in the swamp. The whole study was about the buttresses (the flared out parts of the trunk at the base) of a specific kind of Cypress tree. I got to help with some of the measurements at one of the sites, and it was super fun to be a part of SCIENCE.
The funny thing about the word "buttress" is that it looks and sounds an awful lot like "butt rest." And, as a support for the tree, it is kind of like a butt. So, I basically had no choice in the matter--butt jokes it was. Look how relaxed and groovy she is, resting her butt on the buttress!
And, it turns out she did great with her presentation and got the attention of some important people! I am so proud of her. She is very skilled at SCIENCE.
