Week 8:
Mayo Clinic
July 16, 2013 | I am thankful I had the opportunity to shadow a Physician Assistant (PA) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) on the Sleep Medicine floor this past week. After Cornell, my goal is to attend a PA program. For those of you who don’t know, a PA is a mid-level healthcare professional who practices medicine under the supervision […]
Week 1:
Mexican Museum
July 16, 2013 | This small-town girl has finally arrived in one of the country’s well known cities: San Francisco. It took me a day or two to come back to reality that this was happening! I am lucky that my Cornellian friend, Brenda Mejia ’15 gave me a informative tour! I completely fell in love with the diversity […]
Week 8:
University of Iowa Department of Biochemistry
July 16, 2013 | With Thursday and Friday included this week, I was able to accomplish a much greater amount of work. Joe and I injected construct H28 for a second time because all of the tadpoles from the first injection lost their expression by the time we sectioned them and IHC didn’t reveal any GFP. For the purposes […]
Week 8:
African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa
July 16, 2013 | Monday-Tuesday: Staff meeting on Monday. It’s my last week, and since finishing the entirety of the documents of the Virgil Powell Collection, I now start working on linking them in Past Perfect. I spend the entire day doing this, since linking also means editing the photos and adding titles/descriptions/any other confirmable information. Wednesday-Friday: Africa!, a Summer […]
Week 3:
University of Chicago Medical Center
July 15, 2013 | Fellow in Research Due to the 4th of July holiday this was a little bit of a shorter week. Over the weekend I got to meet up with some Chicago Cornellians, Melinda and Millie, and see the city a little bit! Here we are visiting the “Bean” in Millennium Park! On Monday I got to […]
Week 4:
Institute for Exploited, Trafficked and Missing Persons
July 15, 2013 | Got back on Saturday night from Chicago and it was an amazing time! Full of the Blackhawks craziness, my high school mockers and so many friends from Cornell. It was a fun but stressful time and I am glad to be back at work and sleeping in my own bed. There is so much to […]
Week 4:
National Association of Chain Drug Stores
July 15, 2013 | Another great week here in Washington, D.C. I did several things last week, including writing scripts that our speakers will use at the NACDS Total Store Expo (our national conference) and doing research for several departments. I believe that my Cornell education has taught me to multitask efficiently and at a high level. Though we […]
Weeks 8 & 9:
University of Iowa Department of Biochemistry
July 15, 2013 | My eighth week in Maria Spies’ lab was spent restarting a cell line of HEK293T in order to transfect it to create FANCJ; hopefully with a higher concentration this time. The cell line was successfully restarted on Tuesday by switching to a different set of HEK293T stocks and was scaled up over the weekend in […]
Week 9:
Baruch Institute for Marine & Coastal Sciences
July 15, 2013 | This was the second-to-last week of my internship here at the Baruch Marine Field Lab, so this will be my last blog entry. The weather has been surprisingly nice this week. Ironically, this is also during a time when I’m not deploying any more tiles into the field, as there isn’t enough time to process […]
Week 7:
Twin Cities Orthopedics
July 15, 2013 | Twin Cities Orthopedics physical therapy has a lot of patients each with a story of their own. According to a study done by the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, the number of knee replacements in the year 2030 is expected to reach 3.5 million. Each individual who receives a knee replacement will be […]
