Hello Everyone! If you haven’t been following my posts my name is Taylor Larose and I am studying Marine Biology in Santa Barbara! This week was the same as last. I went over images searching for any boring clams. Boring clams are a type of...
Hi All, I am currently working with Dr. Petruska in his robotics lab at Mines First off, I’d like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me get this opportunity; the Turners, Sarah, Pinhead, my parents and step-parents, Dr. Petruska, and more. This is...
This week began with nothing on Monday and Tuesday. On both days, we were waiting for the maintenance crews to polish the floors. We had to put everything on the tables Friday of last week and wait for them before we could resume preparing for...
Hi, I’m Alise Hardie, an intern working at Colorado School of Mines. I’ve been working with Austin, a graduate student under Dr. Petruska. Dr.Petruska is a mechanical engineering professor. We finished up making the graph for performance vs. the window size. The performance of how...
Hey everyone, Beck here back with another update from Santa Barbara. This week I continued to look at photos and tagging clams as data for the project. I have also continued spending time enjoying the beaches out here and the amazing sunsets as well as...
Hi im Karis Varner interning at Harold L. Dorris Neuroscience Center and so far its been a great week, only two weeks left of my internship. I was asked by two other people to start working with them and i’m excited for that, trying a...
This week I’ve been using the evaporator to create silver films of 100 to 5 nanometers in increments of 10. My latest slide is 40 nm, it takes about five hours to create one slide. The pumps take a long time to pump out all...
Hello all again! This is Amiyah Ogo from Cortez Colorado. I attend Montezuma-Cortez High School, and I am interning at the REEF at UCSB (The University of California, Santa Barbra) to explore my interest in Marine Biology. For those who don’t know “REEF” stands for...
On Monday we started with an 8:00 am seminar about gun violence with an attorney, then I and my lab partner Arthur went to the lab together on scooters. When we arrived at the lab our mentor told us that everything we did last week...
Hi I’m Karis Varner interning at Harold L Dorris Neuroscience Center and this is week three of my internship only three weeks left, which is sad it has been going faster than I thought it would. Monday was another lab meeting day today and...
This week while working with the evaporator to deposit silver onto microscopic films the switches in the evaporator broke. I spent most of the week designing new switches and problem shooting the evaporator. I got it working again and am continuing with my experiment. Using...
Hey all, my name is Owen Doyle and I’m interning at an architectural engineering firm called ME&E in Durango Colorado. This week I spent mainly at home due to covid but work was mainly the same. I did more complex work understanding one of the...
Hello! My name is Jennifer Gutierrez and although this is week three of my internship with the University of Utah, it is my first week working remotely. This week I was introduced to my new projects. Monday was a day off for the staff at...
This week was great! I started the week off with some data analysis where I made graphs on excel using the data I collected from the experiment last week. Then, I continued to work in the lab where I made more samples using my KPI...
Hey everyone, Beck here updating you all from Santa Barbara. This week was spent a lot on the computer again looking at photos to label clam species. This week was also the start of the summer quarter here at UCSB (UCSB is on the quarter...
