Lucy Wesson: Communication and Learning Lab at the University of Chicago, Week 1
Week One at the Learning and Communication Lab Upon my arrival to Chicago, I felt a great sense of relief. All of my built up anxiety and fear about staring this internship melted away as I got settled and rested in my new apartment. And any remaining nerves quickly fled the next morning as I […]
Elena Scheibler: Spinal Cord Research, Week 4
This week was a short, yet eventful at my internship: we only worked Monday through Wednesday because of the 4thof July. I was able to watch another SATco (Standardized assessment of trunk control) take place on a child with cerebral palsy, which involved them perform a set of tests that would determine how much trunk […]
Anza Connaughton: Spinal Rehabilitation at the Frazier Institute, Week 2
Hey there! It’s my second week in Louisville, Kentucky at the Frazier Rehab Institute and it has been amazing. Last week, I observed stand sessions where we stand participants in wheelchairs up on their feet with the use of physical support and a metal frame. This week, I got to jump in and actually participate […]
Trey Schwerdtfeger:Naval Architecture, Week one
I have made it to Mystic CT and am just starting to get my feet wet so to say. It is a beautiful location in between the town of Groton and Stonington. It is a quaint little town that reminds me a lot of Telluride. Other than the beautiful location, I get to work at a […]
Eric Gutierrez Week 2: Aerospace Engineering
Hello again! This is my second week here at Oklahoma State University – and it was just as great as the last. To kick it off, on Monday we went over to Lake Carl Blackwell and did our weekly inspection of the lake. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you may be interested […]
Danny Bynum: Architecture, Week 4
This was my final week in Miami. Last Saturday I visited the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables. It was a quick 10 minute walk. I swam around for a little while to cool off from the hot Miami weather. On Sunday I rode a bus to South Beach. I spent the day walking down the […]
Mercedes Martinez – Forensic Entomology – “You Go, Squirrel!” – Decomposition Day
7/5/19 – Wake up. Stop alarm. Squirrels. This morning, I walked down to the squirrels, half awake, as usual. However, as soon as I got to the site, I was greeted by a vulture. It startled me so bad that I gasped out loud. I’m sure the vulture would’ve gasped if it had the ability […]
Claire Shaver- Behavioral Science, Week 2
This week was my second week at the Bernier Lab. As we continued to wind down from the big DYRK1a conference, the clinicians started to review different tests they completed over the past weeks. This week we also had two more CONNECT-FX visits. During these visits they look at different criteria in order to determine […]

Mercedes Martinez – Forensic Entomology – “They Went Buck Wild” – Deer 82/37 Returns!
7/4/19 – Before I even walked into the kitchen this morning, I was out by the site collecting data on Squirrel’s A and B. Surprisingly, there were no bugs in sight – not even on B. I was confused, but maybe B had gotten too cold during the night, which would deter insects from laying […]
Mercedes Martinez – Forensic Entomology – “Aw Nuts!” – The Squirrel Experiment (And More!)
7/3/19 – Today was a very important day. As soon as I was finished breakfast, I made my way up to Headquarters. Cristina greeted me, discussed the experiment set up briefly, and sent me on my merry way for some data collection. I opened the freezer, and right between a package of batteries and some […]

Upon the first test, we found that there was a problem with my code. I would later discover it was caused a […]
