Elena Scheibler; Spinal Cord research: Week 6 (Final)
Wow! This was my last week in Louisville, and once again it was amazing. Almost every day this week we performed a variety of experiments, SATcos, and other tests. I was once again able to help with the safety and feasibility study, measuring the blood pressure and attaching the ECG to collect data. Another interesting […]
Gregor Remec, LASP Software Development, Week Eight!
This week was super good! I worked on my final project design document and a little SWIG/Qt in my extra time. I was taught the value of a good design, making the coding far easier, and given some examples where the design phase can took years and actually coding the project only took a few […]
Jay Alcazar: University of California, San Diego: Week 4
This week in the lab has been a lot of reading for me. I have been working on reading various papers on Neuropsychopharmacology, which is the field of study the George lab is categorized under. Neuropsychopharmacology is essentially the study of how drugs affect the mind, as well as behavior; for us we do this […]
Jonah Jodlowski Week 3: Marine Biology
Good afternoon everybody! Things really started to heat up in the Miller lab this week. I’m talking literally and figuratively. John, another intern also working for Katrina, blew the fuse on our freeze dryer while trying to extract pigment from his algae samples. Oil spewed out everywhere and the smell of burning algae filled the […]
Justine Sherry: Starting at the REEF (the Research Experience and Education Facility), Week One
I arrived in Santa Barbara on a Sunday and got to explore the small college town where I will be living. I met with Scott Simon, the head of the REEF program and got a rundown of the program. The next day, I started working at my internship with the REEF program. This week I […]
Josh Ives, Computational Biology at CMU, Week 3
Hello everyone I just had a wonderful third week at my computational biology internship at CMU. I’m really excited to tell you guys about everything that I learned, but first there’s a point of particular interest. The my group under Josh Kangas may have discovered a new bacteria! One of the other interns had a […]
Jessica Barkemeyer Week 1: Emblematic Studios
I just finished the first week of my internship, during which I am staying in Los Angeles and working in a virtual reality studio studying computer science in filmmaking. The first day was mostly paperwork and getting to know the people in the office. They even let me try out a headset to watch some […]
Clara Carrasco: Aerospace Engineering, La Cuarta Semana
This week was a week of realizations. I realized that people tend to make things more complicated then what they are. By this I mean that my design for the Maxwell TVAC plate was way more complicated then it should’ve been. Upon this realization I edited the rails and made sure it would fit into […]
Kira Galbraith Week 5 (LAST WEEK): Forest Park Animal Hospital
I am thankful for my time at Forest Park Animal Hospital. I learned what a real life practice: dealing with emotional clients, being money efficient, and working as a team with your coworkers. I didn’t get to work too close to the animals because I’m not 18 so I wouldn’t be covered on their insurance. […]
Sean Taplin: Environmental Engineering, Week Five
This week, we did a complete successful test of the sensor network, using temperature sensors in place of the CO2 sensors. With three nodes, data was gathered, sent through the main node to a computer, which printed the data to a CSV file which was then used to create a data map on a web […]
