Current progress

 I noticed there was a mistake in my variable table in the research proposal. So I checked with my mentor and corrected it. So here is the corrected variable table.

Name	I/D/C	Units
Honeybee exposure to GBH	Independent Variable
GBH residue in bee products	Dependent Variable	%
Honeybee exposure to AMPA	Independent Variable
AMPA residue in bee products	Dependent Variable	%

I have a concern about my research. Even though I found sources, I realized that I might not be able to utilize them in the way that I want. Having a wrong variable table could have led this research in an unanticipated way where I didn’t intend to go in. I have felt these days that my sources are doing the research and I am following them, not that I am the one who finds necessary information for my research. It feels like who is the dog and who is the owner, if that makes any sense. I was going to research more about how the experiment for this research was implemented. Instead, I got the research on the right track. It delays my plan but is on the right track. Keep it up!
