Eric Gutierrez Week 3: Aerospace Engineering
Welcome back to my blog! Today marks my third week for me here at Oklahoma State University. This week was actually pretty different in comparison to the others. On Monday, I started the day off by waking up at 4:45 AM and getting ready to drive the hour and a half to Norman, Oklahoma. As […]
Mercedes Martinez – Forensic Entomology – “It Wasn’t All In Vein!”
7/11/19- While forensic entomology is incredibly useful in determining time of death in a victim, that requires the presence of a body. Forensics isn’t all about analyzing a body (albeit it’s obviously very crucial to the concept), it’s also about determining facts about a crime. This includes doing so without a body present, putting together […]
Mercedes Martinez – Forensic Entomology – “The Circle of Life”
7/9/19 – For the past couple of days, I’ve been observing the insects that come and go from Squirrel B, as well as traveling around outside the ranch to a town called Bisbee, a once copper-mining town in the Mule Mountains. I, of course, used this wonderful trip to fall into the tourist traps I’ve […]
Caroline Lucarelli: Cartilage Research/Equine surgery: Week 4
I have just wrapped up my fourth week in Auburn, and it was a crazy one. On Monday, I observed three surgeries, starting with a mass removal on the ventral side on the trachea. We believe this mass formed from the cartilage cells of the trachea and fibrosis enhanced the size. The mass was successfully resected, and pathology found […]
Kira Galbraith Week 3: Forest Park Animal Hospital
Week 3 was an odd week because there wasn’t much that happened in the office. Monday I was sick all day from the previous weekend. Tuesday I got back on my feet but Dr. Baker wasn’t at the office due to her cat breaking its leg. She ended up taking the cat up north to […]
Rachael Burson – Biotechnological Engineering – Week 3
Aloha, My partner Yash and I have been assigned a phenotyping project. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics of plants. One such characteristic is growth rate. The professors goal is to understand how plants growth rate changes based on environment. This is possible because Hawaii has a large range of climates from one side of the […]
Rider Johnson, Hydraulic Modeling Lab, Week 4
Hard to believe I only have two weeks of my internship left. So far it has been an amazing experience. This week was another short work week because of the holiday. On Monday and Tuesday, I helped one of the engineers take measurements on one of the models. The model was of the Ridgeway dam […]
Tybee Marine Science Center Week 4 Kamryn Corzine
This week at the Tybee Marine Science Center I learned so much about the care that goes into keeping the gallery going and what we need to do outside to keep it running. I learned about the filter systems, filling the sumps, how to care for a snake, and how to catch animals off the […]
Jonah Jodlowski Week 1: Marine Biology
Good day fellow Pinheads! My name is Jonah Jodlowski and I am a rising senior attending Telluride High School. This week was my first week working in the Marine Science Research Building (MSRB) located on the UCSB campus in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. Before any of you worry, I was unharmed by both the 6.4 […]
Andrew Winkelmann: Environmental Engineering, Week 3
This week we decided to focus most of our efforts on setting up a small network of sensors in order to test what we have done so far. On Monday, we were shown the labs that the team has been using. Here Adriann has been experimenting with fluid flow and pore networks. He showed us […]
Jay Alcazar: University of California, San Diego: Week 2
Hello again! Week 2 of my internship has gone by really fast. We had a short week because the lab had a 4 day break because of 4th of July which was really cool. In the few days in the lab we finished up the remainder of our paperwork so we could finally be able […]
