Hello! The fifth week of my internship here on coconut island has gone by incredibly fast. Much of the work I have done this week has been similar to that of last week. We took the volume and mass of each of our coral fragments...
My second week here in Boston was a short week of only three days because of July 4th. During these three days, I created more graphs and started work on a presentation that I will give on Tuesday for the entire team. Instead of creating...
I cant believe my second week here is already over. Time seems to have just vanished like nothing. I have done so many things, and each day feels like another adventure. I have continued to help out at the various museum activities such as the...
This week Caroline and I have been working independently, since Andrew is in Guatemala working on satellites. Caroline has been learning how to program and code her Arduino. I, on the other hand, have been watching tutorials on SOLIDWORKS to familiarize myself with the computer...
This week Clara and I worked on our projects more, and learned the specifics of what we are going to be working on for the next four weeks. Because our mentor Andrew is currently in Guatemala, we've been watching tutorials and doing exercises specific to...
Wow! The internship is already halfway done. I've been having such a great time here that time has really been flying by. This week, I worked on three projects: creating a data map, managing heat for the Picarro instruments on the roof, and creating an apparatus...
This week was awesome, even though I only worked a day and a half. Monday was super cool because the internship class and I were introduced to Qt and PyQt. These are both graphics libraries, meaning they make developing graphical applications super easy. This is fun...
Although this is my first blog I have been in Santa Barbara for about 10 days. I flew in on the 26th and started my first day (also the only day I’ve worked so far) at the REEF (Research Experience and Education Foundation) on the...

This week was a short, yet eventful at my internship: we only worked Monday through Wednesday because of the 4thof July. I was able to watch another SATco (Standardized assessment of trunk control) take place on a child with cerebral palsy, which involved them perform...
Hey there! It's my second week in Louisville, Kentucky at the Frazier Rehab Institute and it has been amazing. Last week, I observed stand sessions where we stand participants in wheelchairs up on their feet with the use of physical support and a metal frame....
I have made it to Mystic CT and am just starting to get my feet wet so to say. It is a beautiful location in between the town of Groton and Stonington. It is a quaint little town that reminds me a lot of Telluride. Other than the...
Hello again! This is my second week here at Oklahoma State University - and it was just as great as the last.

This was my final week in Miami. Last Saturday I visited the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables. It was a quick 10 minute walk. I swam around for a little while to cool off from the hot Miami weather. On Sunday I rode a bus to...
7/5/19 - Wake up. Stop alarm. Squirrels. This morning, I walked down to the squirrels, half awake, as usual. However, as soon as I got to the site, I was greeted by a vulture. It startled me so bad that I gasped out loud. I'm sure...
