Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 2
This week at LASP was highly informative. Mainly consisting of meetings, I learned much more about what LASP does, its projects, and Astrophysics in general. Along with meetings, there was a practice speech for the upcoming Japan trip that went over a project named INFUSE, which focused on using UV light to observe previously undetectable […]
Maddison Coca, Physical Chemistry at University of Houston, Week Four
Hello everyone! As I’m nearing the end of my research at Professor Baldelli’s lab, I’ve been doing more of presentation prepping and giving than experimenting. For most of this week, I prepped for my presentation that took place during our weekly Friday morning meeting. In that presentation included an overview of what I have been […]
Lucas Meridith, Data Collection API, Week 1
I have been working with Evan Iverson who has a data oriented program called TWIG (Telluride Wireless IoT Gateway). IoT (Internet of Things) is a network of devices that share and receive data using peripheral sensors. These devices communicate via LoRaWAN radio which can be sent further distances in comparison to maybe a Wi-Fi signal. […]
Ian Snapp: San Diego, California | Neuroscience at the Scripp’s DNC | Week 2
Hello, my name is Ian Snapp, and this is the second week of my neuroscience internship at the Scripps DNC. As a quick recap, I am working under the Ye lab studying metabolism within the nervous system. In order to research such a thing, the scope of study has to be on an incredibly minute […]
Catcher Latta, Frazier Rehabilitation Institute, NeuroRecovery, Week 1
This week I started my internship at UofL Health – Frazier Rehabilitation Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. I thought my first week was going to be a soft introduction into what I had in-store over the next month and a half. In reality I was busy the moment I walked in the building. After being […]
Bjorn Cristol, Civil and Material Engineering, Week 4
Super interesting week for me here at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City). I got to start working on a proposal in order to get funding for some research, started working on a bit of application with REV’s (Representative Elemetary Volumes), and finished up some coding for 3D lattices. My week started with a […]
Garrett Shelley – MIX Center Week 4
Today marks the end of the fourth week of my internship at the MIX Center, and my final week working with Camp Level Up to teach game design concepts to neurodivergent youth. I’m a little sad that I won’t get to see our students again, but I’m also extremely proud of their growth and how […]
Luka Remec-Organic Chemistry-Engle Lab-Week 2
This week in the Engle lab I have been able to do more reactions and more properly see the full functioning of the lab. We started the week by setting up two reactions called Sonogashira Reactions, where the goal is remove a hydrogen from a terminal C-C triple bond with an aryl group (call that […]
Philip Brooks, Addiction Neuroscience at UCSD, Week 2
Monday & Tuesday: We conducted a full experiment run-through starting with vapor administrations. Mice were placed in airtight containers connected to a pipe system that vaporized nicotine liquid and dispensed a premeasured amount into the chambers at set intervals. Post-vapor administration, the mice were moved to a separate room and placed in an “open field,” […]
Jerry Sharpe, Computational Biology, Brown University, Week 3
This week was fun as it was my first experience working in the wet lab. Before I had been strictly doing computational work but this week I was more oriented towards physical lab work. Most of my work this week involved preparing slides for imaging. I started off by slicing frozen liver tissue using a […]
