Elon Price

This week further affirmed my desire to become a teacher and provided me some assurance being a double minority in physics. I did a lot of networking and learned a lot about efforts to make physics teaching the best it can be!

This week was the American Association of Physics teachers conference in DC. Greg and I presented at 3 different talks, 2 of which were at the eAlliance summit.

Week Nine: Crunch Time

Mikayla Cleaver

This week was the last full week of work this summer, which is crazy to me. I didn’t realize that this summer would go so fast.

Week 9: Don't hold your breath too long

Friday, August 3, 2018

Phoebe Sharp

I knew this would happen. I would get adjusted to this position, establish a routine, and become comfortable. Each weekend we have made a point to try something new in the city and to see a new museum. It’s been so exciting, but it has made this program fly by.

Week Nine: Physics Teachers, I Think I Love You

Sarah Monk

While sitting in my office watching NASA’s announcement of the next Space Flight Crew, I’ve been thinking about how nice it is to be surrounded by people who care about many of the same issues that I do.

Week Nine: AAPT

Amanda Williams

If you were to walk around the Renaissance Hotel this week, you would find it filled with physicists on a mission. It was the AAPT Summer Meeting, which was (fortuitously for us) in DC! I haven’t been to an AAPT Meeting before, and what a shame I haven’t; I had so much fun.

The last two weeks have felt like they have escaped from me. They have been action packed and I am still living to tell the tale.

Week 8

Jesus Perez

This week we had the opportunity to take a tour of NASA Goddard and NIST. For NIST, the majority of us took the metro and shuttle over. We first had a talk given my PI. He couldn't get find a laptop so it was more of a sit down Q & A.

The Eighth Week: NASA, NIST, and NuVegan

Sunday, July 29, 2018

Elon Price

This past week has been an equal mix of excitement and down-time. Today is actually the first sunny and hot day in a while as most of this week has been rainy and stormy.

Week 8: Tours on Tours

Saturday, July 28, 2018

Collin Flynn

This week we had our NASA and NIST tour. If you know me at all, you know that I love giving tours. So obviously the NASA tour was great. Daniel and I took the interns throughout Goddard’s campus. We were lucky that our dates worked out because the tour was awesome!
