Noah Perkovich Week Four: Mine Exploration Geology
This fourth and final week of my internship has been even more exciting than all its precursors. I am becoming very familiar with the terms, vocabulary, and ideas of these bright geologists I am working with. With every bit of experience I get I feel like I always am growing my understanding of the field I […]
Marten: Week Six
The last week of my internship has passed. I had an amazing time with all the people that worked on the MinXSS project with me and the entire experience was very eye opening for me. I’m not going to give the day by day account this week because you have probably heard enough about what […]
Week 6- Jess
Wow. I cannot believe that my internship went by that fast. I was just having such a good time and learning so much I did not want to leave. It felt like I just got there, and with a flash I was going home. My last week at the science center was slow, the summer […]
Noah Perkovich Week Three: Mine Exploration Geology
Over the last week I have done more work in Reno doing lots of core sampling to use on the spectrometer. Then I went with Gary and Lucia to lovelock NV. This is a small town that has not had any mine activity for a long time and the exploration company I am working for […]
Marten: Week Five
My time here is quickly coming to an end. Although six weeks seems like a very long time for me to be gone it is almost nothing in the scale of this project and honestly it astounds me. So many people have been working towards the completion of this project (Over 50 people including students […]
Danielle- Week 5
Hi there again! Week 5 was a busy one, which is why I’m writing this post on Thursday of Week 6. But don’t worry, a lot will happen between now and Sunday, so my Week 6 post will be just as action-packed as this one is. Since my internship is coming to an end, I’ve […]
Noah Perkovich Week Two: Mine Exploration Geology
I have gone through my second week now. A lot has changed within the the last seven days. I have been located in Reno Nevada. Gary was called to a meeting in Idaho so they had me go to Reno to help his asociate geologist, Lucia Paterson with some off site work. We logged lots […]
Jess- Week 5
I was avoiding putting up this blog post because I didn’t want to believe that week 5 was already over. The past six weeks flew by so quickly it is truly unbelievable. The last week was very calm and it is pretty obvious the summer is winding down. The center had it’s last week of […]
Sabine Week 6- Final Week
Wow. It’s over! I’ve completed my Pinhead internship! It flew by so quickly. In the lab, we didn’t really do any new protocols or anything. This week, we used the micro RNA that had been isolated last week to find out if micro RNA 335 was affected in the mice that had the Mest gene knocked […]
Week six-Aaron
My last week in Auburn was one I’ll always remember. It was full of laughs and excitement, new found friends that I’ll never forget. The only thing I didn’t like about my final week was the goodbyes. It’s hard to believe that you can get to know people in such a short amount of time […]
Marten: Week Four
Hello everyone reading my blog. It’s the end of week four meaning I am already two thirds of the way done with my internship. This seems crazy to almost be leaving because I’ve been here for an entire month but my time is more than half over. This week was actually pretty exciting. On Monday […]
Noah Perkovich Week One: Mine Exploration Geology
A week ago I left home by car on my way to learn about mining in Nevada. The drive took twelve hours. Along the way I saw a large forest fire. I got to the town of Eureka Nevada (home for the next month). The first thing I did was drive through town to a […]
