Wynton Brown: Addiction Research at TSRI, La Jolla Week Five
It was a big week for the lab, and almost everybody was super busy all week. The arrival of the mew GWAS cohort meant surgeries all week. The surgeries were to insert catheters in the rats, allowing for drugs to be administered intravenously. The way catheters work is that a syringe is attached to the […]
Abigail Link: St. Croix Plastic Surgery Week Two
Day seven we got in the truck and traveled with Stephan and Dr. Moorman around the island. We drove on the east side of the island and saw the old plantation sites there. This side of the island has a few abandoned resorts since the impact of the hurricane hit this side of the island […]
Carlos Rodriguez: Investigation and application of the Physical doping mechanisms on single layer graphene, week four.
this week we continue with the process of preparing graphene samples to test them. This time we apply silicon dioxide around the samples. We use this dioxide to isolate our graphene sample from the environment. We did this because when we exposed it to the environment, graphene changed its resistivity little by little when it […]
Lexie Gardner: Environmental Engineering Week Five
I can’t believe I only have one week left here in Salt Lake City! While I will definitely not miss the heat, it will be hard to leave the work I am doing and all the amazing people I have met. This week ended up being insanely busy and I am sure that next week […]
Emmanuel Ledesma: Chemistry, Week Four
This week in the lab we continued working with two more analyses to run on our Hsp90 systems. These will be the last analyses that our mentors will teach us. The main purpose of all of these analyses we have learned are to see if there’s any correlation between each system and their IC50 value. […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 5
I had a really fabulous week here at Tybee Island. I assisted a lot with Sea Camp this week at the Science Center and I think the kids had a lot of fun. We taught them to cast net, and it was when McKenna and I were both just learning. When I worked in the […]
Jess Pack: Psychology and Neuroscience, Week Two
The second week of my internship at the CU Change Lab in Boulder was just as exciting as the first! I began my week at the Wardenburg health clinic on the CU campus. This is were the second of the two follow up appointments for the FORCE study are conducted. When the participant first arrives […]
Second Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The second week we switched gears with what we were coding. This time we were adding the code for the sensors to make sure that the satellite will as a whole function properly and distribute the power evenly. This time we had to add code for the EPS sensors, which is the board in the […]
Spencer Keating: Environmental Engineering, Week Five
I cannot believe I only have one week of my internship left. To start the fifth week we continued trials of our CO2 bucket experiment. For the set of trails this week we used a trash can with the bottom removed instead of a five-gallon bucket. This is done to see if the difference between […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week 2
Our second week here was filled with many more specific tasks to take on. We were given a more in-depth look of Hydra, its functions and correlation with the XML coding that we are editing. We have also begun to create new additional functions to the code specific to the Maxwell satellite. Hilariously, we all […]
Alannah Wister: Marine Biology, Week Five
Rob Toonan got back from his trip Monday and after hearing how efficient I have been he gave me the day off. I was able to help my roommates with their projects and sunbathe on the beach for the rest of the day. Tuesday was exciting because we got to take a break from […]
First Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The first week at the Aerospace Engineering labs in CU Boulder was so interesting! We met our mentors, Andrew and Les, who showed us around and gave us a brief tour of the Engineering section on campus. After that, we went to the place we will work for the rest of our time: the conference […]
