Neuroscience & Me

Hello! This is my final project for my Neuroscience class. This is all my own work so please don’t copy it. Some of the links and works cited may not work because some are link that came from the Canvas site for my class.  Neuroscience & Me Willow V.                           My interest in psychology began when I discovered a show in sixth grade that I’m now obsessed with, “Criminal Minds.” At first, I was mostly interested in criminal and forensic psychology, so I started taking psychology classes and doing research to prepare myself for what I thought I was going to be, a behavioral analyst for the FBI. As I started my journey, I discovered that I actually really enjoy doing research and authoring reports, so now my dream career is to be a psychological researcher. I’m honestly interested in all aspects of psychology, but I want to focus on studying under-represented popu...

My Trip to Monterrey, Mexico!!!

  This month, I took a 1 week trip to Monterrey, Mexico to visit family and explore the town. It was extremely hot and I ate so many tacos and burritos that I got tired of them, and if you know me in real life, you know that that's practically impossible.  This post will mainly be pictures because 1. my mom and I took many pictures and 2. I have a terrible memory, especially when it comes to trips.  I first need to talk about my aunt's ancient dog, Nacho.  Technically, he isn't ancient, but he is. He's 15 in human years, which means he's 76 in dog years, according to  this  calculator.  The first thing we did after taking a full day of rest (which consisted of 2 long naps for me) was go to the  Tres Museos . We only got to go to 2 of the 3 museums, which kinda sucks, but we still had an amazing time.  I love this top so much I'd wear it to the grocery store.  These 2 pictures are of clothes from the colonial era of Mexico (I think)....

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...
