Two years ago I attended the APS Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP). A data scientist gave a fantastic plenary talk about her path from earning a PhD in Astrophysics to working in the tech industry.
This week I am feeling very spoiled by this internship. On Thursday evening, we went on an amazing dinner cruise. On the boat, we enjoyed a beautiful view of DC, a three-course meal, drinks, and dancing.
Last week’s blog already seems like such a long time ago! This last week was packed full and kicking up into high gear. My mentor returned Tuesday, and we talked about the parameters of my project and what we wanted to focus on.
