Lucas Meridith, Computational Chemistry, Week 2
This was my last week doing my internship at ASU with assistant professor Matthias Heyden and his team. This week I was able to work a lot on the super computer and continued to learn the bash scripting language through the terminal. On Monday I was able to set up my account on the super […]
Samantha Abate – Marine Biology at UCSB, Week 6
Hello! This was my last week in Santa Barbara interning for marine biology. I’m sad to be leaving such a beautiful place but also very excited to go home to my family. This week was shorter because both me and my fellow Pintern, Emma Galleger, had to leave on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday were our […]
Emma Galleger- Marine Biology at UCSB- Week 6
Hello everyone, this was my final week in Santa Barbara and I am so grateful for this experience that the Pinhead organization helped me to achieve! On Monday we went into lab, each finished a transect and then checked past completed transects from last Friday. After work I met up with my Dad who had […]
Lucas Meridith, Computational Chemistry, Week 1
This week is the first of a two week internship on computational chemistry at ASU. I am working under assistant professor Matthias Heyden who focuses on running simulations of atoms and complex chemical structures. During this first week I have learned a lot not just about chemistry, but also about the physics that govern individual […]
Merrilee Gallagher-Outlaw Equine Hospital (Week 4)
My last week went by very quickly, I continued treating the horses at the different barns. This consisted mostly of doing physicals, giving oral medicine, lavages, cold hosing horses, and putting a nebulizer on horses. They have multiple barns and many horses in these barns where you’re constantly on your feet. Doing outside treatments was […]
Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 6
To say that I am already done with this internship is unbelievable. This final week was by far the most eventful to me, from being a part of the assembly of SPRITE to finishing my CubeSat Wavelength Calibration project. I’m happy to say that I had an amazing experience and learned much from this internship. […]
Emma Galleger- Marine Biology at UCSB- Week 5
Hi everyone, I just finished my final full week working at the Miller Lab at UCSB. On Monday this week me and my roommate Sam had to get up super early to meet our groups to go out on the boats that day. This was the first day that we weren’t working together during our […]
Catcher Latta, Frazier Rehabilitation Institute, NeuroRecovery, Week
I did it! I survived a six weeks in a completely new city, following a brand new schedule, working with people I just met. Not only did I survive, I thrived! I went in to this internship with an open mind because I didnt know what to expect. I kept that same mindset throughout my […]
Ava Silverberg, Entomology Research with the Brosi Lab at RMBL, Week 5
Wow! Five weeks went by so fast! My last couple of days at RMBL, consisted of our typical fieldwork but we also engaged in bug pinning! The QNEST team had collected some syrphids and bees for us, so on Tuesday we got to work pinning them for further identification at UDUB. This process was both tedious […]
Patty Minnehan, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 7
Coming to the end of my internship, I am nothing but grateful for this opportunity and amazed with how much I learned. This has been the best space to explore my interests could ever ask for. That being said, the lab is still plenty busy with lots going on with the assembly cube satellite SPRITE. […]
Samantha Abate – Marine Biology at UCSB, Week 5
Hello and welcome back to California! I’m here in Santa Barbara interning at UCSB for marine biology. I’ve been having an amazing time and it’s hard to believe my internship is almost over! This week I completed a ton of work and got to experience some very inspiring things. On Monday, our mentor Kristen, let […]
Merrilee Gallagher-Outlaw Equine Hospital(Week 3)
My third week consisted of mainly doing outside treatments. This week, three new externs have arrived from Puerto Rico and they have taken off the workload. However, I’m still doing 13-14 hour shifts but that’s ok! I’m glad that we have gotten more people to help care for the horses. These three weeks have honestly […]
