Emmanuel Ledesma: Chemistry, Week Three
My third week in the lab consisted of working with three new analysis. The first is called System Energy Analysis. System Energy Analysis focuses on analyzing the correlation of system energy with measured IC50 values. What this basically does is it takes the average energy for each ligand, there’s six in total, and compares it […]
Lexie Gardner: Environmental Engineering Week Four
This week of my internship was probably the best thus far. In the lab, we accomplished a lot and were really able to tackle some of the biggest issues we have faced. Outside of the lab, I have continued to explore the Salt Lake City area and gotten to know the city much better. Monday […]
Cooper Rondinelli: Programming and Data Science, LASP, Week Three
This week, we continued and finished thermal testing for MinXSS; also, we started building a possible replacement battery pack to be included on the satellite in its flight. Outside of the lab, I have progressed in writing the GUI to display rocket data; I have come across some difficulties interpreting the data, so until I […]

Spencer Keating: Environmental Engineering, Week Four
The fourth week of my internship was amazing. To start the week we got our Xbee communication devices Daisy chained together. This helps increase the range of the devices, as data from the farthest Xbee can be relayed back to the receiver through the other Xbees. We have also been refining how the data is […]
