Last Tuesday marked an important milestone of my time at FYI: the half-way point. I sampled several policy analyst tasks this week. While I have continued writing science policy articles/blurbs, I now spend more time compiling and graphing relevant data from federal agencies.

Week 6

Maura Shapiro

Thursday we had our virtual picnic. It began with an interesting talk by Rush Holt, former US representative and AAAS CEO. It was really interesting to hear his perspective as someone who has been part of science policy.

Week Six: Rainy Days

Jesse Zeldes

This past week has been one of the rainiest on record in the Northeast, so I've been cooking lots to keep myself sane indoors. Six weeks into the program, I think I can officially say that rheology has corrupted the way I think about cooking almost completely.

Zeynep Tuna

This week, I started working on the Top Educators lists. In order to create the Top Educators lists for each demographic, I need to use the Überspreadsheet to create a separate sheet with all the institution’s 3-year averages for degrees awarded in physics.

Roberto Gauna

This past week was uneventful in both the internship and my personal life.

My girlfriend and I stayed home most of the week and cooked.

It wasn't until Thursday, our anniversary of 4 years, that we decided to get out.

Maura Shapiro

This past week was fun because I was able to dive in fully to my Laura Bassi guide. Laura Bassi was born in 1711, Bologna, Italy, and went on to have a successful career as a physicist.

Happy Fourth of July! (or 5th now I suppose). I hope everyone got to see some fireworks. The Lafayette show was pretty good.

Week Five: Midsummer

Jesse Zeldes

Crazy to think that this summer is already halfway over. This past week has been a whirlwind, and I have worked on a number of projects from video editing to writing a new blog post about boba, to gathering sources for an educational article that we are starting.
