Alannah Wister: Marine Biology, Week Three
Welcome back! At the beginning of this week I photographed two trays full of bricks with coral growth experiments on each of the five sides. Then I spent two days cataloging the images and measuring them while entering the data into an excel spreadsheet. I was extremely excited to see our Montipora Capitata healthily recovering fast because there […]
George Thorneycroft: Unmanned Arial Systems at OSU Week #2
This week the team at USRI prepared for a project known as CloudMap. If you did not read my previous post, CloudMap is a collaborative initiative by multiple universities to map weather phenomena using unmanned systems. The next CloudMap project will be in Alamos Co, mapping heat inversions. Given that both Simon and I will […]
Julieanna Goad Santa Barbara: Marine Biology Week 2
This week of my internship was amazing!! I went on the scholastic expeditions trip to the channel islands and had a blast. Both full days we were anchored at the islands we had rotations of kayaking, snorkeling, and invertebrate ID. The second day we were there the group went on a six-mile hike on Santa Rosa which was beautiful. […]
Wynton Brown: Addiction Research at TSRI, La Jolla Week Two
This was an exciting week for my internship as I was finally able to handle the rats being used for research. Most of what the interns in the lab (including me) do is transfer rats from their home cages to self-administration chambers and back, while also cleaning the self-administration chambers. Cleaning the chambers, though it […]
Simon Lovely: Aerospace Engineering and Unmanned Aerial Systems – Week Two
This week was more about preparing machines for the campaign in Alamosa called CloudMap. Oklahoma State University Research Institute is sending a team of people to Colorado all with different jobs to study wind and weather data coming off a mountain. My week went well with a lot of fixing certain devices needed for CloudMap. […]
Samantha Scherner: Health Equity, Week Three
I am officially half way through my internship and this week things at the Rodham Institute have started to pick up.

The first week in San Diego Califonia has been both a thrilling one and a challenging one. The first week of my internship at the UCSD BioChemCore has been a boot camp of learning how to code in various different coding languages such as python and bash along with being introduced to the workings of computational […]
Ry Gould: Beginning of Rat Handling for Behavioral Research – Week 2
The second week of my internship was very interesting as I had the opportunity to do work that was quite different from the molecular work I did last week. Having completed two courses regarding humane animal experimentation and animal handling, I was able to touch and move rats used in TSRI addiction research. For the […]
Cooper Rondinelli: Programming and Data Science, LASP, Week One
I am doing my Pinhead Internship at the University of Colorado, Boulder, at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. This week, my main task was getting started on a Python program that would take data from the satellites and make it available to read in real time. On the first day, my mentor, Bennet Schwab, […]
Lexie Gardner: Environmental Engineering Week Two
And just like that, week two is over! This week was a little more mellow than last week, but by no means less exciting. On Monday, I worked with an anemometer and got it reading correctly for a future experiment that will be happening on the Student Union roof. After that, I continued working with […]
