Jess- Week 4
I cannot believe how quickly my time here has gone. I really do feel like I just got here and I am amazed that I am more than half way through my internship. I have meet so many truly inspiring people since I have been out here. Everyone I have met has tried to help […]
Sabine Week 5
Things are getting pretty routine, by now. I’ve gotten comfortable with the protocols/procedures in the lab. For example, during my first week, Rob gave me a procedure for DNA isolation to read over, with the intention that it would give me an idea of what we would be doing when we actually carried the procedure […]
Marten: Week Three
Last Weekend everyone from the team went on a group bike ride together and it was pretty awesome. My dad also came out to visit me and we went camping at Estes park and went hiking and swimming in alpine lakes. It’s incredible how little I have explored the front range considering how close I […]
Zach Week Five
Week Five I am flying through my internship, so fast it will be gone before I realize. Already, I am starting to wonder where my weeks went. As it was for my last few months in France, these last few weeks in San Diego have skipped by too fast, leaving in their wake memories […]
Final Week-Mikaela
I can’t believe my internship is already over. The last couple weeks have been super busy and flew by. In my last post I talked about the island trip that I was going to go on. Well let’s just say that trip was the highlight of my summer. Everyone who was going on the trip […]
Jess- Week 3
Week 3 This weekend Lisa took me to Atlanta. We were able to stay with the Tatums (Tom’s Daugher, Elizabeth’s family). Saturday, we had a trip planned to the Georgia Aquarium, which turned out to be very fun. Despite it being extremely crowded, we were able to do a small behind the scenes tour. We […]
Marten: Week Two
I spent my weekend with some friends who live in the area and we had an amazing time playing ultimate Frisbee and just visiting with each other. However I came back Sunday evening ready for the week ahead. On Monday Morning we went to our meeting (Tom brought muffins because he is awesome) […]
Week 4 Sabine
Oh my goodness, I am over halfway done with my internship! Where did time go, what is happening? It’s going by so quickly. This week in the lab, we started off with the Qubit (pronounced cubit). The Qubit is a little machine that tells you how much RNA is in your sample. We already used […]
Week 5. Aaron
My time here in Auburn is winding down fast and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. It feels like I arrived just a day or two ago and now I only have a week left. The past week I rotated to the ambulatory station. This rotation a group of students and their professor Dr. Taylor […]
Jess- Week 2
Week Two: Tuesday of this week I was lucky enough to visit Sapelo Island, another one of the 14 barrier islands off the coast of Georgia. My fabulous soon-to-be host mom, Zelda, was able to use her never ending connections to send me to Sapelo with Savanna Country Day School. Sapelo is home to the […]
