Hello everyone and welcome back to another semester and welcome
back to my blog. If you're a first time viewer, than thank you and I hope you
enjoy. This semester I am interning at TGen (Translational Genomic Research
Institute). TGen is a research center in Phoenix that mostly does cancer
research as well as some neurological research. If you would like to know more
about TGen here is a link to their website.
What I will be doing there this semester
is assisting the safety and compliance department in finding ways to help make
the labs at TGen more sustainable, eco-friendly, and ultimately a safer
place to work. This week was the start of my internship. The first day was
mostly dedicated to getting me settled into my space and introducing me to the
people that I will be working with. I also got to attend a board meeting (which
was kind of intimidating) where we talked about what is going on in the
company. Next meeting I am expected to present my "wins" for the
month, which is pretty much just what I have accomplished, and my goals for the
next month. Hopefully I’ll have some stellar progress to present so that I can
wow the board. After hanging out at TGen for only a couple days I can already
tell that this is going to be such a fun internship and that I’m really going
to enjoy myself.
