Welcome back. This week in the lab has been pretty active. We help with the GWAS experiments all week in the mornings as per usual. After we helped with GWAS this week we got too pick brains as Sierra put it. So to begin with...
It's hard to believe that it's already over. This internship has been a great experience, and I'm very glad to have had the chance to do it. This week, we mostly worked on creating a video about everything that we did throughout the internship. First we...
Hello everyone, I'm going to be telling you about my wonderful fourth week learning about computational biology at CMU. This week marked the start of a new portion of my internship. For the first three weeks I was primarily in lectures learning the fundamentals of the...
This week was great, I started coding on my project and got a ton done. Monday was almost entirely devoted to my Non-GUI element in my project, which is a maze generation algorithm. The specifics of how the algorithm works are far too complicated to...
When life gives you deadlines, don't panic! This week I was finishing up the design of Maxwell's interface plate. I had a conference call with Elliott (who's an export on SOLIDWORKS and Arduino) and Aaron (the Maxwell project manager). They both approved of my design...
This week was a little less eventful than usual, but Clara and I are slowly wrapping up our projects. One of the gyroscopes that I wanted to test was a shuttle board instead of a breakout board like the others and I had...
Hiya! This was my fifth week at the Frazier Institute in Louisville, Kentucky and I'm absorbing everything like a sponge! This week was especially cool because I got to see the first real leap in progress that I have been able to observe since being...
Hello! This week marks my 5th week in Seattle! This week ended up being a combination of office work and observing testing. This week we had one TIGER family come in for testing. TIGER is a study looking at different genetic events linked with autism...
Hello, hello! Welcome back to week five of my internship. [caption id="attachment_12710" align="alignright" width="404"] The delta shaped "Popwing" that we would replicate.[/caption] We finally did it. On Thursday we went to the airfield and tested our inflatable wing. But before we talk about that, let's take it...
Side note: I got an extension!! I will be staying on at conservation metrics until week 8 :) Monday: I worked on formally documenting the projects that I had been working on. I have never done this and it felt good to explain everything I had been...
I am continuing my work with the Okavango Wilderness Project (OWP). This week has been filled with nonstop packing. The Okavango wilderness project is attempting to depart on the 19th of July. For this to happen, it’s all hands on deck to...
It's hard to believe that six weeks have already passed! This week was another interesting week. I spent most of it working on the Folsom dam model, doing the same things as last week. We were measuring different flow rates through the bulkhead gate and how much...
Aloha, My partner Yash and I have been assigned a phenotyping project. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics of plants. One such characteristic is growth rate. The professor's goal is to understand how plants' growth rate changes based on environment. This is possible because Hawaii has a...
Week Three at the Communication and Learning Lab Week three at the C.A.L Lab has been slightly slower than the past two due to the fact that we are done with our first condition of the experiment! At the moment, we are trying to re-code the...
This week, we completed a successful test of the sensor network, using temperature sensors in place of the CO2 sensors. With three nodes, data was gathered, sent through the main node to a computer, which printed the data to a CSV file, which was then...
