Week 7:
Time Flies
July 21, 2021 | This week, I received disappointing news; the materials I have been waiting for will not arrive before my internship ends. Fortunately, Microtek has some components leftover from past projects that I can use to test my procedure and get a rough idea of how my results would have turned out. This ordeal with my materials […]
Week 6:
I Have Been Changed For Good
July 21, 2021 | This week was my final stretch in the Musical Theater Intensive at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. I am shocked how quickly the time went by and how changed I feel on the other end of these 6 weeks. Our final classes were held Monday through Wednesday. In Acting Techniques, we were assigned to […]
Week 9:
New Sensor Parts and a Fun Meeting
July 21, 2021 | Tuesday morning, Chandler and I worked to make it possible for the sensor to sleep for short periods of time to conserve battery life. Despite how straightforward that seems, it is actually more difficult than you would think. Neither of us has a lot of experience in computer science, so it has been taking much […]
Week 8:
Nearing The End
July 14, 2021 | This week I got the opportunity to handle raptors I initially felt uncomfortable handling due to not handling them too much. I trained Lyndi how to handle all of our raptors, so she felt more comfortable around them. This allowed me to handle the owls more. I have been afraid to handle the owls due […]
Week 4:
Power-Conversations, Inter-faith scholarship and the Loneliest Whale
July 14, 2021 | This past week has been full of power conversations with my peers, co-workers, parents, and even kids participating in the Summer Meals Program (SMP). Power Conversations focus on diving and exploring people’s concerns, their imposing worries, and their future aspirations. As such, to coalesce an inclusive vision establishes the same stakeholders in a setting of ‘influencing’ […]
Week 7:
Science is Cool
July 14, 2021 | Science is Cool I officially finished testing all antibody ELISA samples this week and have done some preliminary data analysis. Everything from this round of the study seems to match up, as expected, with the previous two rounds. This is good news, showing that our data is consistent, which will allow for better analysis. I […]
Week 5:
Fly Me To The Moon!
July 14, 2021 | This week flew by! I had a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend. My friend Zakki Ali from Cornell came to visit on Saturday and stayed through Monday, and Kinnedy, one of my best friends from high school, arrived in New York this weekend for a film program she is taking part in during July. […]
Week 7:
Nearing the End
July 14, 2021 | Cataloging This week was slightly shortened from the holiday weekend, so I only was in person for one day. The other intern had finished her internship so working in the museum was quieter than normal. I spent my day cataloging objects that had been gifted to the museum. The process was pretty similar to cataloging […]
Week 6:
Shadowing Surgeons and Scoring COVI-SWA
July 14, 2021 | Coming off a four-day weekend this week, we continued to set up the preliminary files for the COVID-19 positive and control patient PSGs: the EDFs, text files, arousal text files, and scoring files. With some of the scoring files already uploaded, we could finally begin to score these files for muscle activity, calculate statistics of […]
Week 8:
An Ending in Sight
July 14, 2021 | It is very bittersweet that I realized my time here is starting to come to an end. Though I am still a few weeks out from leaving, I have already begun to mentally organize everything I own into boxes that will be packed into my car for my drive back up north. I will leave […]
