Pintern Blogs

Hi everyone, welcome back to the blog! This week in the lab, we were working on two main projects for Nathan and Terrance; we were mainly focusing on protein harvesting, which is a big step and enables us to isolate the antibodies, which opens doors...

I have just finished my third week at the science center, and I can’t believe that there’s only one week left. This week has gone by exceptionally fast. I started my Monday with a sunrise walk along the beach. Each morning, the science center volunteers...

This was my 4th week in the lab. I’m so sad I only have a week left. It’s been so fun getting to see what everyone does, and exploring San Diego and the lab a bit more. This week we spent a lot of time...

Hello everybody, and welcome back to my Pintern blog. I honestly can’t even believe this is the final one. Six weeks ago, I drove into San Diego excited, a little nervous, and with absolutely no clue what to expect. Now, I’m leaving with a deeper...

This week at my internship was a powerful reminder of why I wanted to get into this field. Between taking on a major new project and experiencing a massive breakthrough with a patient, it was a week filled with growth, responsibility, and a lot of...

Final week of the internship! This week at the lab, we did a lot of prototyping. We continued to work on the bucket drum, but also got to start on the main subsystem I had been working on, which was the wheels. We finalized the...

Hey everyone! This officially marks my first week working in Bob Miller’s lab at UCSB! I’m just starting to get into the rhythm of daily life in the lab, and because I’m new (and a bit of an unexpected addition), I’ve actually had the opportunity...

Hello everyone! Week 6 at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) was definitely different. Since many people were away at a conference in Copenhagen, I spent the week helping with many different projects and activities. One of the first things we did was...

Hello everyone, my fourth week of LASP was full of learning, as usual. The week started off slow because almost everyone at the lab was at a conference in Copenhagen either presenting or watching presentations, but as the week went on it slowly picked up...

I have reached the end of week five here at the Colorado School of Mines here at the RoSE lab and this week prototypes and parts for the rover arrived and the physical testing of the IPEx rover is beginning. This week was a whole...

This week had a lot more hands on work on the rover At work, we spent a lot of time assembling and testing prototypes for the bucket drum of the rover. We observed how the regolith moved inside and made necessary changes to attempt to...
