Internship Project Description
For my internship project, I decided to try out the research process and come to my own conclusion about the impacts of a modified mouse. When working on the project I got to learn how to identify the ARC and AVPV of the mouse brain on slides and also got to count neurons from them on a computer. A contribution to my internship site was how we got to compare my results with the previous ones and reconfirm if the original conclusion was correct. Something I learned about myself when completing this assignment was that I struggle a bit with patience. Working as a scientist means you need to wait for experiment results and execute long and tedious tasks often, so you need to have a lot of patience in that profession. Thankfully as time went on I got accustomed to the work environment so doing my project got easier to do.
