My internship this summer has been at the labs of Dr.\u2019s Paul and Amy Maddox at UNC, Chapel Hill.\u00a0 This has been an awesome experience.\u00a0 It really made me feel like I was in undergrad again.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The most interesting moment of the program was how much research went in to studying C.\u00a0 Elegans.\u00a0 As well as the detailed images from the microscopes we used.\u00a0 We also got a chance to look at a micro-organism called Tardigrades that look like something out of a science fiction movie. \u00a0The first day was probably the most challenging because the scientist were using vocabulary that I had gotten out of the practice of using because of the level of science I teach.\u00a0 I quickly remembered the terms and caught on.\u00a0 Also watching one of the scientist code.\u00a0 I was completely lost.\u00a0 I realized that coding is something I need to learn how to do.\u00a0 The biggest take away from this experience so far is something that I already say to my students, that science is always changing.\u00a0 What you learn today, may be totally different in 10 years.\u00a0 Learn to work collaboratively and be willing to learn through failures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
