Hello all! I'm once here to report about what I've been doing this past week, and its been very interesting as I learned how to use a software named Profex. To begin my week, I came into the office as usual and began to look...
Hello everyone, it's Gunnar Robinson. This week was a little different from some of the previous weeks. There were not a lot of hands-on activities, but the classes were packed with information and gave me a much deeper understanding of how petroleum engineers design, evaluate,...
Hi everyone, welcome back to the blog! This week in the lab, we were working on two main projects for Nathan and Terrance; we were mainly focusing on protein harvesting, which is a big step and enables us to isolate the antibodies, which opens doors...
I have just finished my third week at the science center, and I can't believe that there's only one week left. This week has gone by exceptionally fast. I started my Monday with a sunrise walk along the beach. Each morning, the science center volunteers take...
This was my 4th week in the lab. I'm so sad I only have a week left. It's been so fun getting to see what everyone does, and exploring San Diego and the lab a bit more. This week we spent a lot of time...
