Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week One
The first week for Aidan and I was a lot to take in. Our mentor, Andrew, dropped a ton of information about the satellite named Maxwell, it’s components, functions, and its operating system named Hydra, which is our primary project. What we have to do is make a copy of the code that we can […]
Ian Enkema | JIAM Labs | Week 1
For all that do not know me, I am Ian Enkema, a rising senior at Telluride High School. To start, let me thank Pinhead Institute for being a essential factor in securing my internship at the Joint Institute for Advanced Materials, and Cliff Hawks (CEO of Cherokee Farms) for coordinating and securing this opportunity and […]
Finn Doherty: Shark Lab, Week Two
This week I have been working on a couple different projects, which has led me to learning more about problem solving. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we feed the stingrays and shark. Round stingrays eat invertebrates such as worms, shrimp, amphipods, clams. The tanks need to be cleaned at least every other day. I have […]
Elizabeth Mueller: Historical Studies, Week Two
Week two for me happened to be a wild one at the museum. In the Entertainment department alone, we had 6 events: Sunday Swing, Stage Door Idol, Dine & Dance, the Bob Hope Foundation Movie Screenings, Best of Sinatra, and Stage Door Idol. I spent the entire week running to and fro making sure everything […]
Ry Gould Week 4
This week my lab received a shipment of new animals. We got 180 out bread (genetically diverse) rats. These rats will be run in similar experiments as have been preformed previously in the lab, but sense they are not in bread they will be useful for finding genetic markers that may be associated with addiction. […]
Tyler Kraft BioChemCore week 3
Our 3rd week at biochem core UCSD we continued to further explore different aspects of computational chemistry and more specifically look into what different properties of various proteins affect the effectiveness of different drugs. We were able to do this by studying the molecular dynamic simulations of these proteins and calculating things like the clustering of the similar movement […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 4
I had a fabulous, rather different week. I had my normal schedule of Husbandry in the morning and Sea Camp in the afternoon. This week I learned some of the food prep, which includes peeling shrimp-heads and all. Now, I could feed the animals beginning to end all on my own! We also had a […]
Simon Lovely: Aeronautical Engineering and Unmanned Aerial Systems: Week Four
This week was exciting in preparing and traveling for going to Alamosa. CloudMap has been a great experience so far and the long days and flying has been great so far. We started out the week in Stillwater still where we started getting the weather stations that would be on the ground so we can […]
Wynton Brown: Addiction Research at TSRI, La Jolla Week Four
Week four of my time in La Jolla has been fantastic. It was an exciting week in the lab as we received the new GWAS rats. These rats are different from the normal rats in that it is an outbred group rather than an inbred one. Most of the rats they work with are inbred, […]
George Thorneycroft: Unmanned Air Systems with OSU Week #4
Even with our fourth week here wrapping up it feels like we started only yesterday. This was our last week in Stillwater. Early on Friday morning the USRI team, Simon, and I packed up a trailer and left for Alamosa Colorado, where we would be carrying out tests for the CLOUDMAP project. The week was […]
Carlos Rodriguez: Investigation and application of the Physical doping mechanisms on single layer graphene, week three.
This is my 3rd week in my project at UCSD. In this week, we been preparing samples of graphene. The process to get ready a sample of graphene to be tested is a little long because it needs to be submerged in acetone a couple hours and then be in the oven for another two or […]
Jess Pack: Psychology and Neuroscience, Week One
Hello! My name is Jess Pack, and I am from Telluride High School. I began my five week internship this week at the CU Change lab in Boulder! In the Change Lab I will be volunteering in the FORCE study, that is conducted in the Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC) just off of the […]
