My internship reinforced my previous idea of pursuing bioengineering in college. I did a lot of the biology and science work in my internship that I will use for my major. My internship allowed me to gain invaluable experience doing research and working in a lab on real-world issues. I now know I want to do research in college with faculty and peers, but I know working in an academic lab will be a different experience than a professional one. I acquired skills and knowledge in my internship that can be applied to various science fields and biology in particular.

My project was very interesting because we categorized the EAE model in mice and observed their progress. They required a lot of intensive care, and towards the end of my internship we had to check on them multiple times a day. Once we inputted the results into GraphPad, we saw their progression and how closely it followed the model, which meant we were doing something right. Unfortunately, I could not stay all the way until the end of my project so I will not be there when they are going to sac the mice, but I am assuming their progress will follow the same trend.
