My internship this summer has been at the labs of Dr.’s Paul and Amy Maddox at UNC, Chapel Hill. This has been an awesome experience. It really made me feel like I was in undergrad again. The most interesting moment of the program was how much research went in to studying C. Elegans. As well as the detailed images from the microscopes we used. We also got a chance to look at a micro-organism called Tardigrades that look like something out of a science fiction movie. The 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. I quickly remembered the terms and caught on. Also watching one of the scientist code. I was completely lost. I realized that coding is something I need to learn how to do. The biggest take away from this experience so far is something that I already say to my students, that science is always changing. What you learn today, may be totally different in 10 years. Learn to work collaboratively and be willing to learn through failures.
