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 professors goal is to understand how plants growth rate changes based on environment. This is possible because Hawaii has a...
Hard to believe I only have two weeks of my internship left. So far it has been an amazing experience. This week was another short work week because of the holiday. On Monday and Tuesday, I helped one of the engineers take measurements on one...
This week at the Tybee Marine Science Center I learned so much about the care that goes into keeping the gallery going and what we need to do outside to keep it running. I learned about the filter systems, filling the sumps, how to care...
[caption id="attachment_11989" align="alignleft" width="300"] The Marine Science Research Building at UCSB[/caption] Good day fellow Pinheads! My name is Jonah Jodlowski and I am a rising senior attending Telluride High School. This week was my first week working in the Marine Science Research Building (MSRB) located on...
This week we decided to focus most of our efforts on setting up a small network of sensors in order to test what we have done so far. On Monday, we were shown the labs that the team has been using. Here Adriann has been...
Hello again! Week 2 of my internship has gone by really fast. We had a short week because the lab had a 4 day break because of 4th of July which was really cool. In the few days in the lab we finished up the...
Welcome back everyone, This week has been shorter than last since we were given the 4th off. Monday was a rather short day since the lab was bustling with people, so we were sent home early. Tuesday seemed to pick up and was a much longer...
Hello everybody, this is Josh Ives. I just started my internship at Carnegie Mellon for Computational Biology. This first week of my internship was a very exciting one as I got started on my Pinternship. I began this week having only a basic understanding of what...
Hello! The fifth week of my internship here on coconut island has gone by incredibly fast. Much of the work I have done this week has been similar to that of last week. We took the volume and mass of each of our coral fragments...
My second week here in Boston was a short week of only three days because of July 4th. During these three days, I created more graphs and started work on a presentation that I will give on Tuesday for the entire team. Instead of creating...
I cant believe my second week here is already over. Time seems to have just vanished like nothing. I have done so many things, and each day feels like another adventure. I have continued to help out at the various museum activities such as the...
This week Caroline and I have been working independently, since Andrew is in Guatemala working on satellites. Caroline has been learning how to program and code her Arduino. I, on the other hand, have been watching tutorials on SOLIDWORKS to familiarize myself with the computer...
This week Clara and I worked on our projects more, and learned the specifics of what we are going to be working on for the next four weeks. Because our mentor Andrew is currently in Guatemala, we've been watching tutorials and doing exercises specific to...
Wow! The internship is already halfway done. I've been having such a great time here that time has really been flying by. This week, I worked on three projects: creating a data map, managing heat for the Picarro instruments on the roof, and creating an apparatus...
This week was awesome, even though I only worked a day and a half. Monday was super cool because the internship class and I were introduced to Qt and PyQt. These are both graphics libraries, meaning they make developing graphical applications super easy. This is fun...
