I spend 4hours a week there (sometimes more, sometimes less) and do different tasks each day. So far, they taught me how to tag a specie and document it (Eventually, I would be working on other projects). My longest project was to go through 20books (where they used to document old species) and mark all the species that have been deaccessioned. Moreover, while looking through them, I had to make sure that all the informations noted are accurate. This task definitely require a lot of patience and focus, because one mistake can have many bad consequences.

INTERSHIP 2: Malacology
A month ago, I started an internship at the archives of the HMNS (at Marconi), which consists of documenting new and old species, cleaning them, writing tags for each specie, and other tasks.
