Reeve Johnson_Using AI tools to predict stock prices: week 3, web hook reading challenges
Week 3 was focused on applying basic Python code to print output to the terminal. I employed Visual Studios to create the Python code that would print a simple message when the webhook was hit. Originally, this step should have been very straightforward. All I should have needed to do was write out a couple […]

This week has been intensive in terms of work and study. During the course of my second week at the neuromoph workshop in Telluride, CO, I have joined a project group that involves both game design and neuromorphic recordings from the brain. Here’s the project: The project is a mountain biking game that aims to […]
Philip Brooks, Addiction Neuroscience, The George Lab UCSD, Week 4
Monday: I continued my work with the cocaine rats and was given a few more responsibilities, including flushing and priming. Because a few of the rats have died due to illnesses, we have been taking extra precautions to eliminate possible threats, one being flushing, which runs ethanol through the tubes connecting the liquid cocaine to […]
