Great start to your blog, Kathryn.

My father works at B.I.O and he mentioned something about it to me and I wanted to learn more about it so I looked it up a bit.

I had been thinking about having the class go on a tour of BIO; what does your dad do there?

He's a Geochemical Technician. He works in one of the labs analysis samples, and sometimes goes on trips to seas to collect samples for analysis.
Very interesting, Katie!
