It is so crazy to think that this trip is almost over! I am onto my last week here in Dublin, and that means it’s time for my final blog. Beginning with my internship, I finished up the project that I had been working on for the past 6 weeks. I got my LEGO AFM fully operational and completely finished the assembly manual and was able to turn it in, meaning that I am pretty much done with work! This experience has taught me so much about nanotechnology as well as working and researching in a lab and I am […]

At the start of the trip, I never knew that these seven weeks would fly by so quickly. This whole experience has been so incredibly enriching and entertaining. Going into this, we knew that we would have the opportunity to miss out on two trips throughout the summer, with one being a weekend trip and the other being a weekday trip. Up to this point, I had yet to miss a trip and decided to spend both of my skips on the trips this week and weekend. My roommates also decided to skip out on these events so I knew […]

Looking back, it is crazy to think that I have been here in Ireland for almost 6 full weeks now.

When hearing “house party”, you might expect food, music, dancing and mingling, and […]

As time passes here in Ireland, it is safe to say that I am definitely getting the hang of living here. In previous years and summers, I have noticed that it can be super easy to get into a routine, but as a result, the days and weeks start to blend together because you are doing the same thing day in and day out. But I am very happy to say that that is not the case here, as each week we do new and exciting activities (often at the cost of long bus rides) that provide enough excitement to […]

Another week has passed in Ireland, and that means it is time for a new blog! This week has been just as much fun as the past three weeks, and it is crazy to think about how half of my time here has been spent. Starting with my internship, everything has been going pretty smoothly. Last Thursday, I finally got my LEGO AFM machine up and running which made me super excited. I thought it would mean I could finally move onto the outreach portion of my assignment. Sadly, the very next day the gears stopped turning. I spent the […]
