Good afternoon everybody! Things really started to heat up in the Miller lab this week. I'm talking literally and figuratively. John, another intern also working for Katrina, blew the fuse on our freeze dryer while trying to extract pigment from his algae samples. Oil spewed...
I arrived in Santa Barbara on a Sunday and got to explore the small college town where I will be living. I met with Scott Simon, the head of the REEF program and got a rundown of the program. The next day, I started working at...
Hello everyone I just had a wonderful third week at my computational biology internship at CMU. I'm really excited to tell you guys about everything that I learned, but first there's a point of particular interest. The my group under Josh Kangas may have discovered a...
I just finished the first week of my internship, during which I am staying in Los Angeles and working in a virtual reality studio studying computer science in filmmaking. The first day was mostly paperwork and getting to know the people in the office. They even...
This week was a week of realizations. I realized that people tend to make things more complicated then what they are. By this I mean that my design for the Maxwell TVAC plate was way more complicated then it should've been. Upon this realization I...
I am thankful for my time at Forest Park Animal Hospital. I learned what a real life practice: dealing with emotional clients, being money efficient, and working as a team with your coworkers. I didn't get to work too close to the animals because I'm...
This week, we did a complete successful test of the sensor network, using temperature sensors in place of the CO2 sensors. With three nodes, data was gathered, sent through the main node to a computer, which printed the data to a CSV file which was...
Week four was a very productive week. The MAXWELL gyroscopes were ordered and I wrote up an experiment similar to the test done on gyroscopes for the QB50 satellite in the past. The hang test will allow the accuracy of several triple axis gyroscopes to be...

This week was my 4th week at the Bernier Lab at the Center on Development and Disability at the University of Washington. This week there was only two CONNECT-FX visits, so it was a pretty slow week in terms of seeing study participants. When the...
Hello again! It's me, Anza, and I'm a pintern learning about the world of adult neuro recovery in Louisville, Kentucky. At this point, I've earned a place at Frazier as the department "pinhead" (my coworkers originally thought that pinhead was a joking insult that was...
Hello Everyone! It feels surreal to say that I have finished the last week of my Pinhead internship at the Rodham Institute. The past six weeks have been transformational and I have learned so much about medicine and public health, Washington D.C., who I am and...
This week at the Marine Science Center here on Tybee was very exciting!!! I got to teach some of the modules to the kids at the sea camp!! I did it mostly without the help of the other educators, except for a few times when...
Hi! It’s me! Ethan! This is my blog, I’m going to talk about the last week. So, during my internship, I learned about hardware stuff. Not like timber but like memory, CPU, GPU, storage, etc. Did ya’ know there used to be a PCI-E card...
