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 […]

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 […]
River Randolph Astrophysics Internship at LASP Week 2
This week started off by taking Monday off because of the National holiday Juneteenth. On Tuesday Graham and I got straight back to working on the 3D printer. The current problem we were experiencing was that the z-axis sensor wasn’t working. We spent all Tuesday trying to figure out what the problem was and how […]
Brianna Stone| Frazier Institute, Spinal Rehabilitation| Week 3
Hi! I’ve finished up the third week of my internship at the Frazier Rehab Institute. Unfortunately, about halfway through the week I was quarantined, but I got to experience so many different things before then! I assisted with the setup of a patient in a machine that was new to me, and then got to […]
Canyon Ishikawa, Organic Chemistry at Scripps Research Institute, Week 2
This whole week was largely spent continuing to familiarize myself with the lab and the cycle of reacting, testing, and purifying. During week two I shadowed Johnny for the first three days, and then when he took a couple days off, I shadowed Skylar for the remaining two. Shadowing Skylar was a very valuable experience, […]
