I started off my day by helping Neha conduct her experiment. She was working on method development for a cream, and she needed to pick between two methods by determining which one was better. When I had finished with this, I did not have enough work to keep me occupied for the rest of the day. My coworkers were reluctant to give me simple tasks to do, like filing, so I decided to speak to my boss and ask him for more work.

Tergus does not currently have a master calendar that is updated with projects several months in advance. This has been a pending task that the company recognized, but now that Client Y has asked for a timeline, there is a greater urgency. Vijendra asked me to work with Jenn to create this calendar so that it takes into account the length of each activity, start/end dates, and resources (people, equipment, etc.). It's a little overwhelming, but I'm excited because I now have a specific job that I know will challenge me.
5: What do you feel is your main contribution to your internship site? What have you done at your internship that makes you proud? Why?
As an intern at Tergus I have been assisting with experiments and helping to manage a timeline while simultaneously learning as much as I can about the industry. I wish I could do more for the company, but my coworkers realize that this is more of a learning experience and it is difficult for me to make a meaningful contribution without fully understanding the industry. Filling out the first few pages of my lab notebook during training was one of my favorite parts of this internship. It made me feel like a real scientist, since this training was something that all the scientists at Tergus had gone through at some point. Eventually I hope to come up with a master calendar that will be of some value to my coworkers, helping them plan in advance.
