This week I’ve been using the evaporator to create silver films of 100 to 5 nanometers in increments of 10. My latest slide is 40 nm, it takes about five hours to create one slide. The pumps take a long time to pump out all...
Hello all again! This is Amiyah Ogo from Cortez Colorado. I attend Montezuma-Cortez High School, and I am interning at the REEF at UCSB (The University of California, Santa Barbra) to explore my interest in Marine Biology. For those who don’t know “REEF” stands for...
On Monday we started with an 8:00 am seminar about gun violence with an attorney, then I and my lab partner Arthur went to the lab together on scooters. When we arrived at the lab our mentor told us that everything we did last week...
I learned so much this week. I learned the anatomy of a heart and vasculature. I can do sutures pretty well. I have been researching this rare tumor so I can write a case report for the cardio department. I have seen surgeries in every...

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...
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...
