Bjorn Cristol, Civil and Material Engineering, Week 3
This week was very enjoyable. I had Monday off and so I was able to start the week with a day of climbing. I went up Little Cottonwood Canyon and climbed a beautiful 2 pitch granite crack. Then, when Tuesday rolled around, I finally figured out the general formula for finding the coordinates of each […]
Reeve Johnson_Using AI tools to predict stock prices_Week 1
I’m Reeve Johnson, and I’m spending my summer traveling for lacrosse while also working on a remote computer science internship. Specifically, I am aiming to use the latest AI tools to create a start-to-finish closed process that can predict stock movements. This process will have the ability to send buy & sell signals directly to a […]
Philip Brooks, Addiction Neuroscience at UCSD, Week 1
I am working at the George Lab at UC San Diego, a Psychiatry lab focused on drug addiction headed by Dr. Olivier George. I am working under my mentor, Selene Bonnet-Zahedi, a post-grad who will have her PhD within the next 12 months and holds a prominent position in the lab despite her age. I […]
Maddison Coca, Physical Chemistry at University of Houston, Week Three
Hello! This was my third week researching at University of Houston under mentorship of Professor Baldelli. Last week, I was experimenting with different drops of Silane to see the trend of contact angles as I increased the drop count. I ended up finishing all but two experiments which required ten drops of Silane. Transferring my […]

Hello and welcome back for week 2 in Tybee. This week I came in on Sunday and took Friday off. I spent more time in sea camp with a group of 9 to 11 year olds. I also spent time shadowing our educators in the centers gallery where I learned a plethora of knowledge about […]
Jerry Sharpe, Computational Biology, Brown University, Week 2
For my second week at the Neretti Lab, I refined my coding skills even more. I was introduced to a software coding package called Cellpose. Cellpose is a deep learning, AI software that is very useful for microscopy analysis on images. Cellpose is a technology that was made to identify and segment objects, such as […]

Hello everyone, my name is Andrew Kistler, and I am spending my summer in Golden Colorado at Colorado School of Mines. For the next seven weeks, I will be working in the M3 Robotics lab with Dr. Andrew Petruska as well as some graduate and undergraduate students. This week in the lab we spent a […]
Luka Remec-Organic Chemistry-Engle Lab-Week 1
I started working in the Engle Lab at scripps research, under Keary Engle and my mentor Madison Wagner. The aim of the lab to create solutions that will catalyise different chemicals easiest and most efficiently. My mentor’s project is focusing on creating tetra-aryl-alkyne groups that are the most luminescent under UV light and also are […]
Patty Minnehan, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 3
This week I was fortunate enough to attend the SPIE (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers) conference in Yokohama, Japan. This was such a cool experience learning about the instrumentation used for all sorts of astronomy and astrophysics and learning about Japan as well. The first day of the conference was on Sunday. As it was […]
Garrett Shelley – MIX Center Week 3
This past week has been a total whirlwind. Everyone has been settling in, finding people that they connect with, and starting larger projects. In the morning program, multiple students moved up to the Unity game engine, which I have some proficiency with. It has been so fun and rewarding to help them and watch them […]
