My first day at NIST went really well. My boss Dr. Catherine Rimmer is really fun to work for. I also met Ms. Karen Cloud who is a former participant of the NIST summer Institute for Middle School Science Teachers.

This week has been dedicated to finishing the experiments for the sock. We have been writing the explanations for these demonstrations & activities. It has been very fun to go over the experiments. You get to look at the experiments from a different perspective.

This week we had a few more networking opportunities in house where we connected with people we hadn't met already. It is always good to meet new people and pick their brains about the work they do and what led them down that path.

This was yet another eventful week in the life of an SPS SOCK Intern. Monday we made a lot of progress in narrowing down all the ideas for experiments for this year's SOCK.

I mentioned last week that the events on my calendar looking forward were extremely exciting, but even so, I was not aware of the whirlwind in which I was about to be swept up.

This week, my office had only two interns (compared to the usual four), which made for a busy week.

The week leading up to Independence Day was a recess week for Congress. As a result, I had expected the week to go slowly with no hearings, markups, or briefings to speak of.

I came into this internship with an affinity for a busy schedule and I'm happy to say that as my fifth week in Washington, D.C. comes to a close, my "to do" list is becoming longer rather than shorter as I learn about more opportunities this city has to offer.

This week in the House Science Committee was filled with hearings, markups, and additional side projects.
