In the lab this week we started with continuing our substrate scope to find the most effective compound in our reactions. On Monday we ran three more heat plate reactions. These reactions take around 3 hours to complete, two hours for on the plate and...
Hello, my name is Ian Snapp, and this is the fifth week of my neuroscience internship at the Scripps DNC. To recap, I am working under the Ye lab, studying metabolism within the nervous system. This research requires a focus on an incredibly minute scale,...
This was the final week of my internship and I was able to wrap everything up quite nicely. I finished writing up a paper about our findings with permeability as well as finishing up a coding project about the Gutenberg – Richter relationship. Working alongside...
Hello everyone, I just completed my second to last week interning in the Jin Lab at Scripps Research in neuroscience. This week has gone by unbelievably fast and I can’t believe I’m almost done. It’s hard to believe that by this time next week, I’ll...

Hello, my name is Katie Pumayalli and I just finished the fifth week of my six-week internship at the Ye Lab at Scripps Institute in San Diego, California. I have been working with my amazing mentors Cailynn Wang and Zhengyuan (Ben) Pang. I started my...
Week 3 was focused on applying basic Python code to print output to the terminal. I employed Visual Studios to create the Python code that would print a simple message when the webhook was hit. Originally, this step should have been very straightforward. All I...
This week has been intensive in terms of work and study. During the course of my second week at the neuromoph workshop in Telluride, CO, I have joined a project group that involves both game design and neuromorphic recordings from the brain. Here’s the project:...
Monday: I continued my work with the cocaine rats and was given a few more responsibilities, including flushing and priming. Because a few of the rats have died due to illnesses, we have been taking extra precautions to eliminate possible threats, one being flushing, which...
I’m done! The sixth and final week of my internship has been devoted mostly to working on my own game and working with the staff in the Fab Lab to use the 3D printers and work on a project I’ve wanted to do for years....
After an eventful three-week break back home working, I have returned to resume my astrophysics internship with LASP at CU Boulder. Starting off, the first thing my mentor said was, “Let’s go light things on fire.” He and some other undergraduate students were working on...
After a break where I was able to visit my family and celebrate the Fourth of July with my friends I have returned to Boulder for the remainder of my internship. I went back to work on Monday and worked through Friday. This week I...
Week three is already over! This week is the half way point in my summer internship in Kentucky. I have learned so much! I am really excited to see what new opportunities there will be in the next three weeks. This week was awesome for...
This week I started working with anti-body staining. I took two poly di-lysine slides (sample sticks better if coated), segmented tissue, fixed and washed it as I had done with all my previous samples in the weeks earlier. Then I treated it with two 5...
