Happy Sunday everybody! Another week, another experimental failure, and more frustration in the Miller Lab. That is actually an overexaggerati0n. Everyone was calm even though half of the urchin population died off once again. I would say it was a “happy accident” not an experimental...
This is my 4th week here in Santa Barbara and I’ve really been enjoying it! Although this week was very similar to the last I have been making the most of it, especially because of the sunny weather we’ve been having these last couple of...
My third and final week in Boston was amazing. It was another short week as I left on Friday so my last day was Thursday. This blog post is two weeks late because I was in Canada with no WiFi for the first and had...
This week I got to work at the REEF helping out and taking care of the animals. Most of the work was on taking care of the tanks for the animals and I also got to feed them. The most interesting animal to feed was...
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...
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...
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 to modify...
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. 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 back a bit. The reason we had to wait until...
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...
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...
