Week three
As I finish my third week here at AuburnVeterinary Teaching School, I’m beginning to understand two things about Auburn. One is that the humidity is overwhelming. The second realization is that Auburn is one of the best vet schools in the country and I am very fortunate to spend my internship here, thanks to the […]
Week Three
During the third week I continued to help Stephanie with her project, all of the containers of carbon-13 enriched phytoplankton have been fed to the organisms so now it is time to start testing the impact of the feeding. We collected samples of the organisms that have been fed the enriched phytoplankton and samples that […]
Sabine Week 1
I’m Sabine Lindler, and my internship is in Scarborough, Maine, at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute (MMCRI). I’m working under Dr. Robert Koza, who studies the role of epigenetics in obesity. Upon starting my internship, I had no idea what epigenetics meant, so I will explain what it means. For a while, it has been […]
The Second Week
Week Two Ok, so what haven’t I done in these last two weeks? I could start by talking about all the biking both to and from the San Diego State campus (4.2 miles each way), or the running I have been doing, the swimming I have taken up, or the canoeing– but none of […]
Week Two

Week two
This week at AuburnVeterinary Teaching Hospital I got to help with a lot more hands on activities and procedures. I’ve helped castrate a boar pig and a young bull. I also was lucky enough to watch several surgeries including one in which the doctors reset a broken leg of a calf who was stepped on […]
Week One
I arrived in Santa Barbara mid-day on Monday and my parents drove me up to the house that I was going to be staying in. It was high up on the hills outside of the city and when we got there was saw the most beautiful home. The house was originally a Spanish misson, then […]
First week
My first week of my internship was a busy one! I’m attending Auburn University large animal veterinary teaching hospital and it’s a blast! I’m luckily working with great people who are overly educated in their fields of study. I’m excited for the weeks to come!
First Impressions
First Impressions So today has been my fourth day in San Diego. When I boarded the Grand Junction airplane 90 hours ago, I did not know what the next seven weeks would entail. I did not even know the topic I would be studying, only that it would have something to do with microbiology. […]
