Ellie Bulson: Spinal Cord Injury Research, Week Three
Hello! My third week in the Spinal Cord Injury Research Center at the Fraizer Rehab Institute was far less hectic than the week before. It started off with a SATco experiment that consists of measuring the patient’s trunk control (control of there upper body) and simultaneously getting recordings of there lung capacity. We started off with […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 3
I had a really magnificent third week here at Tybee Island. There is so much to learn and do! This week I only worked 4 days, and get this, it wasn’t the Fourth I had off. Each day I worked, I was in the Husbandry with Chantal in the morning and assisted with Sea Camp […]
Tyler Kraft BioChemCore Week 2
This week we finished running our molecular dynamics simulations, and with those, we correlated the IC50s of different ligands to various properties of said ligand. For example, we tested the number of hydrogen bonds the ligand has to the protein in order to see if that correlates to IC50. Besides that, we spent the week learning how to […]
Wynton Brown: Addiction Research at TSRI, La Jolla Week Three
Week three of the internship has been good. Work in the lab has been a continuation of what we have already been doing. All groups of rats we were running are still running and no other groups were started. Though two of the alcohol rats may be done after this week, depending on what the […]
Ry Gould Week Three
This week I continued work on the same animal behavior research I had been doing. I did not get a chance to head to the molecular biology department to help with that side of things, but I was fine with this because it is a little bit more exciting to be working with the rats. […]
Carlos Rodriguez: Investigation and application of the Physical doping mechanisms on single layer graphene, week two.
This week we were learning how to use codes and know their functions. My mentor was explaining how to use them properly. These codes can be used to form a wide variety of functions, like you can use them to control laboratory tools and much more. During the week, we had to replace a device called […]
Emmanuel Ledesma: Chemistry, Week Two
The second week of my internship was just as exciting as my first. This week we primarily focused on analyses that we have to run in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Molecular Dynamics simulations are used to see how structures change over time compared to the starting point. The week started off by learning about the […]
Lexie Gardner: Environmental Engineering Week Three
The halfway point in my internship comes with a twinge of sadness, as it means my time here is winding down, but also with immense excitement as there is still so much to learn. Week three brought with it a myriad of different activities and learning opportunities. On Monday, Spencer and I were able to […]
Finn Doherty: Shark Lab, Week One
My name is Finn Doherty and I am a student at Ridgway Secondary School. I am interning at the California State University Shark Lab in Long Beach. I arrived to Long Beach on the 28th of June and it has been an amazing experience so far. I began my internship on July 2nd, and my […]
Julieanna Goad Santa Barbara; Marine Biology Week 3
This week at the R.E.E.F. was quite interesting. Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal days with programs coming in and the undergraduates teaching them about kelp forests. We also did husbandry (housework) that needs to be done every day for the health of the animals. Wednesday we had off for the 4th of July and […]
Elizabeth Mueller: Historical Studies, Week One
Today is my first week here at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. Jazz is being played, the humidity is real, and I’ve been bustling around getting acquainted with the Science and Technology, Education, and Entertainment departments. Getting to walk around the museum for the first time from an administrative perspective, it is interesting […]
Spencer Keating: Environmental Engineering, Week Three
This week was another exciting one for me. On Monday Lexie and I finally had the communication device that attaches to our temperature sensor communicating and sending its data over 800 feet. I am glad to see that our work on this project for the past two weeks has finally paid off. The next step of […]
