After my first week adjusting to my workplace at the Fogarty International Center, where I read academic papers, created data visualizations, and applied algorithms to our project, I appreciated a weekend to relax and recharge.

I'm currently taking my off-term (meaning not on-campus) interning at the Fogarty International Center, which is part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Here's a glimpse into the day-to-day happenings.

I actually shadowed there during my freshman winterim, as the deputy director is an alum and hosted a few students to visit the facilities and meet some of the people who work there.

For the summer, I’ll be in San Francisco interning with the International Institute of the Bay Area (IIBA) as part of Dartmouth’s annual SF Social Impact cohort.

One of the reasons I chose to go to Dartmouth is the quarter system. Ten-week terms make learning short and sweet.

Despite having studied, interned, and conducted independent research abroad multiple times since coming to Dartmouth, there is one conversation I just cannot avoid with my mom each time I jet off someplace new: safety.

As a freshman with no clear idea about what I want to major in, I applied to WISP to see what it would be like to work as a scientist in a specific field (my interests lay around Earth Sciences, Computer Science, Physics, and Astronomy).
