As I sit in a cabin in the Catskills, on a family trip far from any sign of cell phone service, my last few days at Goddard and at SPS seem very far away, almost like a dream, but as soon as I look back at the pictures the whole experience rushes back to me.

It’s hard for me to believe as I start to put together a presentation of my work that the summer will soon draw to a close and with it my treasured days with IDL. I’m looking forward to sharing my work with Eta Carinae next week as well as hearing what everyone else has been doing.

This summer, I was able to meet both Ben and Ashley, the Mather Interns from last summer. They both expressed the thought that the Mather Policy Internship is the best intern program in DC. When I look back on my experience, this seems completely accurate. This internship allowed me to connect with so many people working in science policy and really get to see how this world works.

It's all over! I have returned home to North Carolina with my family after such a fun and enriching summer in the nation's capitol with SPS. My final week of work began with three days at the AAPT summer meeting at the University of Maryland. The AIP History Center had a morning session on the second to last day of the conference at which the intern team presented. We gave an overview of the motivation and goals of our project, discussed some of the specific content, and explained our goals for the future of the teaching guides.

I find myself back in my hometown in disbelief that this summer ever happened. There is a lot to take from an opportunity like this: The length of the internship, the housing location, and the social events were perfect.
