Abstract
This report describes my internship as a scientific communicator at Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML), a research facility, in Charleston, South Carolina. HML is a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary lab where scientists conduct biotechnological research to sustain, protect, and restore coastal ecosystems. As communications intern, I worked with various scientists to document research on tidal creeks and write about HML’s new Center for Excellence in Oceans and Human Health (OHH). The first chapter of this report introduces HML and my role in the organization. Chapter 2 describes my major internship activities. Chapter 3 details my Tidal Creek Project (TCP) writing and design tasks. The concluding chapter aligns my work processes with Dr. Paul V. Anderson’s Problem-Solving Model and reflects on my internship challenges.
