Electrochemistry internship at University of Houston week 2
In my lab I am taking microscopic slides and turning them into thin films of silver (1 to 100 nm thick) using a evaporator to evenly distribute the silver onto the surface of the films. Then I will be measuring them with an ellipsometer to determine there actually thickness in nm. This first week I […]
Evan Strand | Scripps Neuroscience Lab | Week 2
Quick recap, my name is Evan Strand and I’m interning at Scripps Research Institute researching the neuroscience of metabolism. This week felt both very repetitive and completely new. It started with a presentation for from Dr. Ya-chieh Hsu, a professor at Harvard University, talking about her experiment on testing the cause of grey hair and […]
Taylor Holmes-University of Utah-Environmental Engineering and the Energy and Geoscience-Week 1
Hello everyone, I’m Taylor Holmes. I’m a Pintern from Telluride, Colorado. I’m spending several weeks this summer at the University of Utah in Salt Lake, interning with the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy and Geoscience. When I started working Monday, we went into “The Cave” to visit the PICARRO, which is a gas detector […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 1
My name is Olivia Hatcher, and I am studying biochemistry at UCSD this summer. My first week has been some what crazy between my wonderful host family and my internship. The first couple of days of my internship were filled with paper work and safety trainings. Once I completed those, I learned some new chemistry […]
Keegan Heaton | Aerospace Machinist | Week II
I began the week brainstorming personal projects that I would work on in my spare time. I was tasked with doing the entire process from scratch and using physical objects and my mentors as resources. I had decided to make a fidget that would go on my keychain! There would be a small gear conversion […]
Owen Doyle, Architectural Engineering, Week 3
Hey, my name is Owen Doyle and I am interning at an architectural engineering firm in Durango CO, called ME&E. I have been doing a bunch of Mechanical engineering in the first two weeks but last week I got to learn more about the electrical side of engineering here. I learned about sin curves, phases, […]
Canyon Ishikawa, Organic Chemistry at Scripps Research Institute, Week 1
Hey, my name is Canyon, and I’m interning at the Scripps Research Institute. I intern within the chemistry department thats pioneering new reactions to create more efficient techniques on making certain molecules. More specifically, my lab, lead by Keary Engle, focuses on organic chemistry that uses metals to form bonds, this is known as metal […]
Beck Gilliland, Marine Biology, Week 2
Hey, Beck here with a week 2 update from UC Santa Barbara. This week was mostly spent identifying and labeling clams in reef photos as data for the project. This data will help determine where and how these clams and what they eat affect the environment around them. I was identifying 3 species of clams […]
Jennifer Gutierrez| University of Utah| Environmental Engineering & Geoscience| Week 2
Hello all, my name is Jennifer Gutierrez. My second week at the U began with a brief introduction to Python from my advisor (Ting Xiou’s) husband. He provided our small group of interns with a link to an in-depth free trial with many videos to learn Python at our own pace. We were welcome to […]
Karis Varner- Neuroscience week 2
Hi, I’m Karis Varner and this is week two of my internship in San Diego. Monday was an interesting start, the morning started out of a presentation about inter-organ neural circuit for appetite suppression it was a very interesting presentation. The paper report lacked some of the required evidence for some of these finding and […]
Farrar Desloge – CSM – Week 2
This week, I continued my work on the NASA-Lunar Outpost project. I also started on a new project of fitting LiDAR cameras to Jackal robots, which will be pictured at the end of the blog. Outside of work, I didn’t find much time to get outdoors, besides a run and some skateboarding. The NASA project […]
Brianna Stone| Frazier Institute, Spinal Rehabilitation| Week 2
Hi, I just finished my second week here at the Frazier Institute in Louisville, Kentucky! This week I was able to learn about so many new things, from the research aspects to the clinical aspects of spinal cord neurorecovery. I was allowed to strap into a harness, which would be used to support patients during […]
