I posted a few demonstrations this week on the SPS website: Passive Pasta and Slimy Spaghetti and Meatballs! The first has to do with energy conservation and the latter with chemical bonding.

I know everyone said that time would fly in this internship, but now I really believe them! Week 3 has come and gone and things are starting to get a lot busier.

 This week my mentor and I were able to find a way to get a license for me to download the COMSOL simulation software on my computer. This is a big step forward towards analysing our system of interest and it will be great to get experience using the software.

This was a fantastically productive and encouraging week here at APS Careers. I am really starting to feel like a member of the team and the community both within APS Programs and amongst my fellow SPS interns!

Week 2 on the virtual platform and things are still running smoothly. My mentor Mark and I are remaining in great contact even though we are a few hundred miles away.

We are now through our second week, and it was a somewhat slower paced week compared with the first week. After the rush of introductions, first meetings, and preliminary discussions for projects, this week has been mostly waiting for the next step in the plan of action.

I think I’m getting the hang of this. Take that with an enormous grain of salt. The only person I know who can truly understand my ineptitude is myself.

My second week has gone well! I have met more with my mentor, Dr. Southard, and also with Dr. Xiang Li, another researcher at Goddard. They took a look at my earlier experiment and made some suggestions to improve it.
