Hey everyone! This officially marks my first week working in Bob Miller's lab at UCSB! I'm just starting to get into the rhythm of daily life in the lab, and because I'm new (and a bit of an unexpected addition), I've actually had the opportunity to...
Hello everyone! Week 6 at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) was definitely different. Since many people were away at a conference in Copenhagen, I spent the week helping with many different projects and activities.

Hello everyone, my fourth week of LASP was full of learning, as usual. The week started off slow because almost everyone at the lab was at a conference in Copenhagen either presenting or watching presentations, but as the week went on it slowly picked up...
Welcome back to my blog! This week was my 4th week at the Ye Lab, and it was rather exciting as I got to see different pieces of the puzzle finally coming together! As a reminder, I'm working with researchers Kaili Xue and Leyao Shen,...

This week has been incredibly rewarding. From squid dissections to turtle feedings, I have been showered with so much information that I can hardly keep track of it all. I have been rigorously taking notes, but it is impossible to soak it all up, and...
I know I just said it, but I will say it again: wow. I cannot fathom how I am a whole month into my internship. Stepping off that plane into the warm Louisville air and being greeted with warm welcomes from my host family doesn’t...

Hello all! I can't believe I'm already over halfway done with my Pinternship! So far I've learned so much and loved being immersed in the world of science and microbiology. This week I did a lot of work under Nathan, who's focusing on Lassa virus...
Hey everyone, this week was definitely the most work-intensive one of my internship so far. After spending the past several weeks learning the basics of the project and preparing samples, I have finally reached the stage where most of the soil samples have been scanned...
Clinical Focus & Breakthroughs: SATCO Research and Keeping Kids Engaged A lot of my time this week was dedicated to SATCO (Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control) research, diving deeper into how we measure and support core stability in children. Alongside the research, I was tasked with...

Hey all! This is already my very last post, and I am so grateful for how fun these past few weeks have been. Even though I'm sure you've heard this before, I'm going to say it: I really didn't expect time to fly bye so...
