Hi all! I’m having a super cool and unique mindset shift from being here at Barrow. I came in super set on Biomedical Engineering, but the longer I’m here, the more interested I’m becoming in neuroscience and medicine. I think it’s largely due to the...
Hello! My name is Belle McTigue, and this summer I am interning at the Briney Lab at TSRI (The Scripps Research Institute) in San Diego. The Briney Lab is a microbiology lab focusing on infectious diseases and antibodies. I will be working under Jonathan, a...
This week involved a lot of repetitive tasks, which I am beginning to recognize as absolutely essential to scientific research. We have to repeat the same experiments over and over again to ensure accuracy, verify findings, and build confidence in the results. A large part...
Another week down, and another week still not in the outpatient clinic. However, I came to a realization earlier this week that…it’s kind of my fault. Haha whoops. I’m supposed to have received a QuantiFERON tuberculosis (TB) test so I can start up in the...
Time is flying by quickly as I felt as if this week come and go in a flash. To begin my week Professor Bry took the other intern and I down to the labs where she gave us an explanation on the equipment inside the...

Welcome back guys! This week was pretty busy with processing our data and organizing it into data sets, graphs, and models. Along with more NMR analysis, me and my amazing lab mate, Brylea, did some of our new reactions, including the synthesis of a cyclotribenzoin...
Just a reminder: I have the amazing opportunity to spend six weeks in San Diego interning at the Scripps Research Institute in the Engle Lab. The lab is run by Keary Engle, and I have been working with Madison Wagner, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate, as...
Hello, everyone. Welcome to my weekly update! This week has been an eye-opener for me. I was challenged in so many ways; however, the challenges I faced helped me understand an important lesson. Not everything runs smoothly in life; there will always be bumps along...

Hello again! My name is Izzy Giroir, and I have the amazing opportunity to be working at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) this summer! More specifically, I’ll working in the field of neuroscience at the Ye Lab, located in the Dorris Neuroscience Center (DNC). The...
Hello everyone! Week 3 at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) looked a little different than usual. Isaias was away on a school trip, so I spent the week handling projects on my own, and there was certainly no shortage of work to...
My third week at the University of Houston has just ended, and I am super excited to say I got a lot done. I was able to do lots of different experiments and use different machines and tools to help the other grad students and...
My first week went in a flash and by all means was wonderful and interesting. I came into Salt Lake City during the weekend before the beginning of my internship, and I met my wonderful host family who gave me a tour of their home...
