The Nantucket Living Lab Semester 2013 is off to a good start following the completion of our first class Eco-Poetics. In this class Len Germinara taught us many aspects of poetry and how we can use it to reflect our experiences. We got to share our poems with each other through workshops and to the public during the Spoken Word Nantucket. This class surely brought out my creative side while still incorporating my passion for science. I would like to thank Len for an awesome start to the semester and I’m looking forward to the remainder of our stay on Nantucket.
