Andrew Winkelmann: Environmental Engineering, Week 4
Well, it’s been four weeks since I started my internship here at the University of Utah. Time really flies by. This week, Sean and I did a lot of work on the communication aspect in the network. We created temporary cardboard compartments for the sensors and then spread them out across the campus. We tested […]
Josh Ives, Computational Biology at CMU, Week 2
Hello everyone, I just finished up my second week studying computational biology at CMU. This week was an exceptional one and I’m really excited to tell you all about the awesome things I got to do. This week was mostly split between time in the microbiology lab, time in the computer lab and free time, […]
Clara Carrasco: Aerospace Engineering, Week 3
I hereby dub this week one of our most productive weeks! Caroline and I finished the work assigned to us by Andrew. When he came back from Guatemala, we discussed what exactly I should do for Maxwell. He figured out that the CuE3 TVAC mounting plate can be used for Maxwell. However, a unique plate […]
Jay Alcazar: University of California San Diego: Week 3
Welcome back! This week was a really busy week in the lab. We helped with the GWAS experiments in the mornings as per usual and then we started on to other things. Another lab member is starting a project on alcohol self-administration so I helped reassemble the rats chambers for that on Monday and Tuesday. […]
Danika Petit: Week 3- Euthanizing and Surgeries
Week 3 everyone, This week has been captivating and full of new experiences! To start off the week, we began dissections on a cohort of rats that have completed their scientific mission and have now passed onto a wonderful rat heaven. What’s fascinating about the rat is that it’s 97% genetically similar to us, which […]
Sean Taplin: Environmental Engineering, Week Four
The main focus for this week was on the sensor network. We did a lot of work on the communication between nodes, and tested their ability to daisy chain between each other to reach the central computer. There were some other things we worked on. I continued work on the data map, which entailed learning […]
Claire Shaver- Behavioral Science, Week 3
Hello! This was my third week at the Bernier Lab in Seattle. This week at work was one of the busiest weeks I have had since I started. My big tasks were working on data entry and different presentations. The different presentations were based on genetics events we have seen or are about to see. […]
Caroline Graham: Aerospace Engineering Week Three
Hi everybody! Week three has been great, our mentor, Andrew, is back and I’ve started working on testing the gyroscopes with the Arduino. I also learned how to solder when I soldered the pins onto the Adafruit breakout board. We took a tour of Bio-Serve, which is a nonprofit, research organization on the third floor […]
Gregor Remec, LASP Software Development, Week Seven!
This week was great! I continued working with PyQt, making small graphical applications, from Monday until Friday. PyQt, as said in my last blog, is a massive graphics library that makes creating visual app elements far easier. This week I made apps with custom signals and slots, these are hard to describe without an example […]
Bryce Lambert: Work With REEF: Week 2
This is my second week working for REEF, and it’s been a lot of fun. My mentor Kyler was gone on the second School ex trip (the boat tour of the Channel Islands), so I spent most of my time working in the aquarium and helping run programs. The Nautilus is an exploration ship in […]
Anza Connaughton, Spinal Rehabilitation at the Frazier Institute, Week 3
Hi! I’m coming to the end of my third week at the Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. I’ve been here for 3 weeks now and I feel like I’m learning a lot and starting to perfect the tasks that I’ve been given. This week was all about hands-on experience. During week one I got […]
Rider Johnson, Hydraulic Modeling Lab, Week 5
This week was super interesting! I got to help work on two different projects/models. The first was a model of Folsom Dam in California. The model was not of the whole dam, but of the bulkhead gate. These are photos of the model. The black part in the image on the left is the gate. […]
