Electrochemistry internship at University of Houston Week 4
This week I’ve been using the evaporator to create silver films of 100 to 5 nanometers in increments of 10. My latest slide is 40 nm, it takes about five hours to create one slide. The pumps take a long time to pump out all the air to create a vacuum. I’ve also been using […]
Amiyah Ogo | REEF, Santa Barbara | Week 2
Hello all again! This is Amiyah Ogo from Cortez Colorado. I attend Montezuma-Cortez High School, and I am interning at the REEF at UCSB (The University of California, Santa Barbra) to explore my interest in Marine Biology. For those who don’t know “REEF” stands for Research Experience and Education Facility. This week is my second […]
Yaphet Reyes Powell – University of California, San Diego, Nanoengineering and Chemical Engineering- Week 2
On Monday we started with an 8:00 am seminar about gun violence with an attorney, then I and my lab partner Arthur went to the lab together on scooters. When we arrived at the lab our mentor told us that everything we did last week wasn’t useful since the solution wasn’t homogenous when set in […]
Haley Brackett- surgery in israel- week 2
I learned so much this week. I learned the anatomy of a heart and vasculature. I can do sutures pretty well. I have been researching this rare tumor so I can write a case report for the cardio department. I have seen surgeries in every department and can say Cardiovascular surgery is my favorite. Something […]
Karis Varner- Neuroscience week 3
Hi I’m Karis Varner interning at Harold L Dorris Neuroscience Center and this is week three of my internship only three weeks left, which is sad it has been going faster than I thought it would. Monday was another lab meeting day today and it was about metabolism in mice and other factors after […]
Evan Strand | Scripps Neuroscience Lab | Week 3
I can’t believe that I’m already half way through my internship. Quick summary, my name is Evan Strand and I’m interning at the Doris Neuroscience Center working with mice to find out how changes in metabolism effect the brain. I spent most of this week processing and graphing data from the experiment that my mentor […]
Electrochemistry internship at University of Houston week 3
This week while working with the evaporator to deposit silver onto microscopic films the switches in the evaporator broke. I spent most of the week designing new switches and problem shooting the evaporator. I got it working again and am continuing with my experiment. Using some of my engineering background in a field where I […]
Natalie Hernandez | Week 3 | University of Houston
Hello all, I hope all is well. This is Natalie checking in from the University of Houston. Week 3 was a very busy week. On Monday I looked at my results from Friday. It was pretty shocking to see that we had gotten our image completely resolved. The next step was switching out the regular […]
Owen Doyle, Architectural Engineering, Week 4
Hey all, my name is Owen Doyle and I’m interning at an architectural engineering firm called ME&E in Durango Colorado. This week I spent mainly at home due to covid but work was mainly the same. I did more complex work understanding one of the main systems that is crucial for mechanical engineering and I […]
Jennifer Gutierrez| University of Utah| Environmental Engineering & Geoscience| Week 3
Hello! My name is Jennifer Gutierrez and although this is week three of my internship with the University of Utah, it is my first week working remotely. This week I was introduced to my new projects. Monday was a day off for the staff at the U for a federal holiday, so I took the […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 2
This week was great! I started the week off with some data analysis where I made graphs on excel using the data I collected from the experiment last week. Then, I continued to work in the lab where I made more samples using my KPI buffer and different amounts of a NATA stock and L-Tryptophan […]
Beck Gilliland, Marine Biology, Week 3
Hey everyone, Beck here updating you all from Santa Barbara. This week was spent a lot on the computer again looking at photos to label clam species. This week was also the start of the summer quarter here at UCSB (UCSB is on the quarter system). On Tuesday, I got to sit in on a […]
