The Last Post

Sadly, this will be my final blog post about my internship at Applied Biophysics. This year, Fridays have been my favorite day of the week - not in anticipation of the weekend - but because I got to spend every Friday morning learning about the nature of cell behavior and diving into the world of physics with some brilliant minds! (I mean, how many people can say that they were able to work in the same office as a Nobel Prize winner in physics?!) I have had the privilege to work with some extremely kind and intelligent men who have made this internship such and extraordinary experience. I could not have asked for a better mentor - Dr. Keese. His expertise and generosity has informed how I view research, the field of biophysics, and pursuing a career in the sciences. I have truly learned so much through this internship over the course of my senior year- from the physics behind electrode measurements, to culturing cells in a hood, to putting creative ideas into reality. I am so glad that I will be able to carry my newfound knowledge into college, and pursing research opportunities in the sciences.
