Alannah Wister: Marine Biology, Week Four
I began this week by prepping my notebook with all the tables that I needed for measurements on Thursday and Friday. The beginning of the week was not busy as there was not much for me to do Monday and I had Tuesday and Wednesday off for Fourth of July celebrations! On Tuesday I helped my roommate […]
Cooper Rondinelli: Programming and Data Science, LASP, Week Two
This week, I joined in the rush to get the MinXSS 2 satellite ready for launch. I was involved in temperature testing of the satellite, which involved heating it and running a diagnostics test, as well as cooling and running diagnostics. I was tasked with most of the operation of the equipment while my coworkers […]
Nancy Coykendall: San Juan Regional Medical Center- Week 1
I began my internship in Farmington, New Mexico at San Juan Medical Center. Throughout my internship, I was able to shadow different nurses and interact with some patients. Each day was spent in a different department, learning a variety of tasks and requirements. I stayed with Dr. Nguyen for the week. He specializes in radiation […]
Samantha Scherner: Health Equity, Week Four
I’ve officially been at the Rodham Institute for a month now and I have fully accustomed to living in the city. My dad came to visit for the weekend so I took Monday off and my step cousin gave us a tour of the House of Representatives Floor in the Capitol. I was then given […]
Jaden Evans: Virtual Production, Week One
Hello, and welcome to my Pinhead Internship blog for this summer! My name is Jaden Evans and I am from Telluride High School in Telluride, Colorado. For the next six weeks, I will be interning in the Virtual Production division of the visual effects studio, Digital Domain, in Los Angeles, California. Under the guidance of […]
Simon Lovely: Aeronautical Engineering and Unmanned Aerial Systems – Week Three
This week was a big preparation for a CloudMap campaign which is next week. I will be going to Alamosa, Colorado to do research of the winds aloft coming from the nearby peak. We have been working on a fixed wing aircraft that we will hopefully be able to take to Alamosa and fly it […]
Noah Rainer: Spinal Cord Injuries, Week Three
Hello! I just finished my third week as an intern at Frazier Rehab Institute. The heat here was astonishing and always a topic for conversation. But other than that the week flew by very quickly. I spent the mornings running the tracking program for the standing sessions for two participants, one of whom receives STEM. […]
Ellie Bulson: Spinal Cord Injury Research, Week Three
Hello! My third week in the Spinal Cord Injury Research Center at the Fraizer Rehab Institute was far less hectic than the week before. It started off with a SATco experiment that consists of measuring the patient’s trunk control (control of there upper body) and simultaneously getting recordings of there lung capacity. We started off with […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 3
I had a really magnificent third week here at Tybee Island. There is so much to learn and do! This week I only worked 4 days, and get this, it wasn’t the Fourth I had off. Each day I worked, I was in the Husbandry with Chantal in the morning and assisted with Sea Camp […]
Tyler Kraft BioChemCore Week 2
This week we finished running our molecular dynamics simulations, and with those, we correlated the IC50s of different ligands to various properties of said ligand. For example, we tested the number of hydrogen bonds the ligand has to the protein in order to see if that correlates to IC50. Besides that, we spent the week learning how to […]
Wynton Brown: Addiction Research at TSRI, La Jolla Week Three
Week three of the internship has been good. Work in the lab has been a continuation of what we have already been doing. All groups of rats we were running are still running and no other groups were started. Though two of the alcohol rats may be done after this week, depending on what the […]
Ry Gould Week Three
This week I continued work on the same animal behavior research I had been doing. I did not get a chance to head to the molecular biology department to help with that side of things, but I was fine with this because it is a little bit more exciting to be working with the rats. […]
