Honours year

Time flies, my honours year is about to end in 2 months time. 7 months ago I totally have no idea what a research life would be, feeling excited and concern at the same time. 7 months later, I wish my research life would not end in such a short time.

The main focus of my project is to look at the relationship between the body mass of odontocete (toothed whales) and features that relate to their echo-locating ability on their skull. One of them is the degree of asymmetry of their nares.

The biggest and smallest skull that I have.

It is really interesting seeing different species of odontocetes skulls. Some are so huge that moving them require heavy machines while others are so tiny that one can pick 3 to 4 skulls up without any effort.

Now my project has come to the last but most important bit, analysis and presenting the result. This is also the hardest part since I have to figure out what all these data and graphs mean. At the moment, I seems to get stuck in getting any meaning from all the graphs that I have. It seems the only solution is to read more and hopefully my supervisor will give me some hints...

The place I have my skull scanned. Stinky but lovely place.

Wish me luck ! and hopefully I could get a 1st class honours and continue to PhD....ahhhh that would be my next aim !

um....

yea keep updating a blog is hard, super hard. esp for people like me, lazy but busy.

all the best to people in Japan, esp my friends there.

honours had started and it's quite busy but still i enjoy it a lot ! it's interesting and get to have to chance to do a research project on your own !
hope everything will end up good
