Jess Pack; Psychology and Neuroscience, Week five (final)
I had an amazing last week in Boulder both in and out of the lab! To start off the week I got to observe DNA extraction for the first time which was really cool! The Change Lab is currently waiting on more of their typical red blood cell lysis, so we were testing different brands […]
Abbey Heide Week Two-Field Biology
My second and last week in Gothic was spent conducting experiments individually or in pairs. Our brainstorming period happened to be a day hike up a nearby mountain, stopping occasionally to look at and learn about research going on in the area. I then had three days with my partner to collect and analyze data […]
Ben Lafferty: Computer Science at Rover.com, Week 1
Hello all! My name is Ben Lafferty and I am one of the many Pinterns this year from Telluride, Colorado. This summer I got the opportunity to learn what it is like to be a software developer at Rover.com. Rover is a website that provides dog owners with sitters. Everything from walks, to a place […]
Finn Doherty: Shark Lab, Week Five
This was my fifth week here in Long Beach and it was definitely one of my favorite. On Monday, we took the boat out to find the receivers that hadn’t surfaced when it was supposed to. An engineer and two interns from the company Blue Robotics used their ROV to find them. Due to the […]
Jaden Evans: Virtual Production, Week Five
Welcome to week five of my Pinhead Internship blog! This week flew by, and I also anticipate the remaining two weeks of my time here in Los Angeles as well. All five days at work this week were spent on set on the main stage shooting motion capture and audio for an upcoming video game! […]
6th Week Tyler Kraft BioChemCore
This week was our last week of doing real research on our protein systems. Which was both exciting and sad that it is all coming to an end. During this week I spent most of my time calculating free energy wells for each system of the distance between the center of mass of the ligand […]
Elizabeth Mueller: Historical Studies, Week 5
It’s my second to last week here at the National WWII Museum and I’ve just had the most interesting discussion with Mr. Owen Glendening, Executive Director of Education & Access. Mr. Glendening has worked for over 30 years in Museum Studies. Now, truly not to diminish the interview in anyway – Mr. Glendening had many […]
Anna Wright: USDA NRCS California, Week One
For my Pinternship, I have been working in the communications branch of the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The NRCS is an agency within the United States Department of Agriculture that provides subsidy funding to ranchers and farmers in California to help them modify their practices and make them more environmentally friendly. With the motto, “Helping […]
Fourth Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
This week, we spent most of the time working out the kinks and errors that were possible reasons why HYDRA, the program that we are working on, wasn’t giving us readouts. We fixed all of the errors as you saw last week, but when we plugged it into everything, it was still giving us no […]
Carlos Rodriguez: Investigation and application of the Physical doping mechanisms on single layer graphene, week six.
This week, we been transferring and preparing more samples of graphene and annealing them to test them and follow with our comparisons of their results. Another thing we did is install a humidity sensor in the conductivity set up that we did. The process of install this sensor was a little hard for me and […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week Four
Week four was a lot of troubleshooting. Firstly, the 31st, we decided to head to the lab. Waiting for everything to set up, I observed another intern (who was much older than I) doing some other radio testing. Essentially, his computer was sending a modulation called QPSK to a radio that runs the bits sent (bits […]
Nathalie Valenzuela: Neural Basis of Social Behavior, Week 2
Its my second week here and my projects are going really well. The experiment hasn’t been able to take place yet because the monkey is still in training. This monkey is named Ham and he’s a teenager and at the moment he’s going through a rebellious stage and really doesn’t want to listen. All of […]
