Short blog post today. The biggest goal right now is acquiring CHCA and DHB for testing in the future, and this is tricky.

I have just finished up my sixth week, where I managed to snag a lab at my university to work in for the summer. I reached out to a member of my university's Environment, Health and Safety office and they managed to get me my own workspace in the basement of one of their buildings.

Shorter blog post this time. It is hard to believe this has been my fifth week of interning at NASA! I have had a great time so far with all of my other interns, and my tests have been going well.

Somehow we are halfway through this internship! There’s a Bon Jovi reference in there somewhere, but I’m too proud to make it.

This week has been pretty exciting, I have moved on from working with salt water and salt propanol to working with rhodamine-6G. When I ordered it off the internet, it came with a safety sheet that recommended a fume hood and a formal laboratory, but all I have is a garage and work table.

We are a whole month in! Time flies when you’re remotely interning at NASA during a social uprising during a pandemic.

My third week of the internship is proving eventful. I have done more testing with my airbrush, including applying isopropyl alcohol instead of water as a solvent for salt.
