Emmanuel Ledesma: Chemistry, Week Six
This week in the lab we completed our task of ranking the 12 ligands in order from the lowest IC50 to the highest. We were able to accomplish this by using three analysis methods we chose. The methods included: free energy, secondary structure, and hydrogen bond analysis. After analyzing our data from the free energy […]
Jess Pack: Psychology and Neuroscience, Week Four
My week in the Change Lab was really awesome! I started my week off by shadowing another undergraduate student that I had not worked with before. We started the day with plating a 24 hour for the OASIS study. To begin this process whole blood is mixed with FBS/RPMI (FBS stands for fetal bovine serum) […]
Alexa Yanosky: Plastic Surgery St. Croix Week 4
Day 21: My last Sunday in St. Croix was one to remember, the day started out with a pancake breakfast with Stefán and Abbie in our apartment. After cleaning up, we got in the truck and headed out west on the island for a new beach experience, Rainbow Beach, in Fredrickson. Once we hit the […]
Abigail Link: St. Croix Plastic Surgery Last Week
Day twenty one we spent the last Sunday of our trip at Rainbow beach. The beach was about 20 minutes away so after that drive we were excited to jump in the waves. By courtesy of Dr. Moorman, Stephan, Alexa, and I all went jet skiing. I have never done this before, Alexa had, and […]
Abbey Heide Week One-Field Biology
I am Abbey Heide and I am in Gothic, Colorado, working with ten other students at the Rocky Mountain Biological Labs, learning about field biology and ecology. This week we were introduced to several different deviations from ecology. We started with zen ecology, doing more observational work in the field, taking field notes without actually […]
Jaden Evans: Virtual Production, Week Four
Welcome to week four of my internship blog! Overall, this was a slower week at Digital Domain, but things are about to get pretty crazy for the next few weeks as we begin a series of lengthy, comprehensive shoots! Nonetheless, I learned a great deal more about the software used in virtual production, and did […]
Nancy Coykendall: Denver Health Medical Center- Week Two
My first day was spent touring the hospital with Dr. Cohen and Alexis. We visited the trauma center, SICU (surgery intensive care unit), and surgery clinic. I spent the afternoon meeting with other members of the research team and talking to Alexis. Alexis took me to two labs, both testing blood, one of which belongs […]
Tyler Kraft Week 5 Biochemcore
During this week at UCSD we continued our research and tested all of our hypothesis from the previous week! The first hypothesis that I tested was if the standard deviation of the distance between the center of mass of the ligand and the center of mass of the binding pocket. After lots of coding I […]
Cooper Rondinelli: Programming and Data Science, LASP, Week Five – Final Week
Holy cow, it is here already. This was the last week of my internship at LASP; finally, I have time to sit and write my blog. This week at LASP, we finally got ready to ship MinXSS-2 off for its rapidly approaching launch. For the week, we prepped to get into thermal testing in a […]
Finn Doherty: Shark Lab, Week 4
This was my fourth week here in California. This week I have been working on putting together a slideshow presentation for a SCUBA tour agency, Horizon Charters, out of San Diego. One of the computer science majors at the university designed a real-time acoustic receiver software that will be on the MV Horizon vessel. It […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 6
I cannot believe I am done already and writing my last one of these! This has been the best experience of my life and I am very grateful of everyone that made it possible. With that said, I had a very exciting week at the Science Center. It started out pretty normal. On Monday, I […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week Three
Week three was filled with progress and success! We actually managed to get Hydra working on our computers, and that included getting it to work on Aidan’s Mac, which we thought would be impossible. However, separate programs allowed us to run Hydra for Aidan. Unfortunately, both of our programs were stuffed with errors. Firstly, the […]
