My First Eureka Internship

Dear World,

My time as a legal intern has been interesting in a very good way. I've done things here that I thought I would never do as an intern. Such as sitting in on a meeting for various kinds of situations like the closing and refinancing of a home. I know it sounds boring but from the inside view where I stand it’s pretty fascinating and there’s much to learn on a day to day basis. My day is from 9-3; I walk into the office and help Alicia start off the day. Plus my co-workers are the best; I think I am pretty lucky to have an office full of friends. Did I mention the office...

Umass and Space

Another day at Umass to learn more about space. Today it was in shrewsbury where we took a tour of a stimulator labatory. We learned that medical students and brand new doctors practice on dummies that can do anything a real patient can do in the hospital. We got to see an average aged man, ten year old boy, a pregnant woman, and a newborn baby dummies. It was really cool to see stuff like that. We also got to see how doctors learn how to tell if the breathing or heartbeat

UMASS trip!!!!!!

this is a baby medical dummie being taking care of.

today we went to umass to see interesting things such as the medical dummies. Nurses and Docters in training use them to train for real-life scenarios. So they breathe

and act like a real human beings. We even got to check the different heart beats of one them. Which I thought was pretty cool because one day yoou could experience

on becoming a doctor or nurse one day. Also we went to eat luch which was pretty cool. Then we went to video chat with the astronaut, Dr. Liz Warner and she had

talked alot about being in space. how theyre lving in space for about 6 months...

UMass Medical University

On the day of August 5th, we went to UMASS Medical School. There we fallowed a student to one of the practice labs. There were maniquins which the students

practiced on before the real deal. There were different maniquins. For example, there was a child, a newborn and a regular man that you can talk to a nd find out what is

wrong. Next we had lunch and after that we had an interview with Dr. Liz Warren. She talked about Space and what happens when your up there. Then she answered our

questions in full detail. She helped me learn alot more about space. After our...

Today we had a lot of fun. WE went to UMASS Medical School. That is a place where college graduates learn to be doctor, nurse, surgeons, and musch more. Umass memorial hospital is very big and new. When we got there we were split into groups. One group would discuss when the other wwent on a tour and visa versa. On the tour we went in to an area called the simulation center. There students or new doctors or nurses could preform procedures on dummies so they perfected them befor the preformed them on actual people. There were a lot of different dummies. There was on dummy of a pregnant...

UMASS med school

Today, we went to UMASS medical school and did lots of cool stuff! First, we went on a tour of the simulation center. It's basically a bunch of rooms with these lifelike dolls that are used to simulate what it would be like to save a patients life. Rather than giving a real person a heart attack, scientists give a manakin a heart attack and students have to save its life. There was a normal human male manakin, an 8 year old manakin, a pregnant woman and baby manakin, a baby manakin, and a 10 minute old manakin. There's also a manakin that makes the noises of a heart, all sorts of different...

UMass Medical University

During my fourth day at the Goddard Girls Summer Pogram, we went to UMass where I attended Chinese academics. In the morning we saw many mannequins that medical students practiced on before they started to work with real human beings. I learned that they debriefed after a session. The dummies were exactly like real people. They had a pulse, they could breathe and speak to my surprise. After that, we went to interwiew a person that was the manager of the international space station. Her name was Dr.Liz Warren and she knew as much as an astronaut even though she has never gone into space...

Shine like the stars Goddard Girls

Yesterday we mostly stayed at the University of Massetusetts. We first start of doing a project seeing how your leg can change size by 10 minutes. Then we went into the lab and talked about what a CEV really means. NASA obviously use CEV's but the interesting thing is that the sattlites are retiring in two years.So with that subject we are building are "fake" CEV's, but we have to make rough drafts first. Next we ate yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuummmyyyyyyyyyy pizza!After that we built are CEV's and interview are CEV's to everybody.Lastly we took a long walk to the sign of UMass to take a picture...

Building CEV prototypes at the Stem Lab

On August 4,

Goddard Girls have achieved to make prototypes of their own CEVs (Crew Exploration Vehicles) and presented with confidence. Our prototypes were made out of recyclable materials. Each CEV had fufil the requested nessesities when going to space by making the material represent them. Everyone worked as a team and we pulled it through. The whole day had been planed out and with that being said we spent the whole day there. Can't wait to enjoy the next days here!

Umass Campus!!

August 4, 2010............

Today we went to the Umass campus to create CEV's, which stansds for Crew Exploration Vehicle. We learned that when astronauts first travel into space they feel like they have a cold and the upper part of the face gets puffy. Which causes them a reaction not to feel thirsty because of the fluid shift that increases the blood volume. the food that astronauts carry are dehydrated because theres no water in space. We did a lesson on how to stimulate the fluid shift felt by astronauts upon entering space. Which was really cool cause you could actually feel on...
