One song to describe my summer? Even though a simple request, how could one song really capture my entire summer? Shuffling through my iTunes library though, I came across an old favorite: “Same Ol’ Mistakes” by Rihanna. Rihanna’s version is actually a cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Ol’ Mistakes,” and I feel like…

Testimonial
Being a WAGSFP fellow has been a great experience. For me, the best part of the program was having the opportunity to meet my research mentor and having access to all the resources that UROP has available. It has been really neat to somewhat get to know the other WAGSFP fellows. Since everyone has varying…
WAGSFP Testimonial
My summer with the WAGSFP has been a great experience for me. While I’ve been involved in research for the past two years, having a summer where I was able to work one-on-one with my mentor and grow my own research abilities has been invaluable. I’ve also been given access to others who can help…
Blazing summer, cold coffee
This summer would not have been possible without the help of caffeine. That’s why I chose the song “Coffee” by Sylvan Esso. (I really like Sylvan Esso, it’s kind of this experimental electronic indie pop band.) I have definitely overextended my energies a little bit this summer. But I lived, it worked out just fine,…
Song of the Summer
So for my song of the summer, I chose Float On by Modest Mouse which is one of my classic pick-me-up songs. This summer has honestly been one of the best, and this song has been especially useful for whenever I’m stressing myself out over the future. No matter how stressed I get, it’s important…
Testimonial
WAGSFP has been such an enjoyable experience. I have met so many amazing peers that I am sure I will interact with again. The lunch that we had was very nice, giving us more opportunities to learn more about each other and mentors. I have gained so much insight into different aspects of research that…
GOD IS A WOMAN
The reason why I picked this song is because I we are the Women and Gender summer Fellowship Program, so you could say we are doing the Lord’s work. While I mainly posted this song because I LOVE IT, it is quickly going to rise as a feminist anthem. It has received mild controversy, mainly…
Blog Post 9: Part Dos – the Testimonial
WAGSFP was such a fantastic program overall, especially with getting a chance to work more independently on my research project, prepping it up to make it into my thesis over senior year, and meeting other fellows over the two months we spent together (and their own co-workers/mentors in WAGSFP Lunch). My favorite part of WAGSFP…
Blog Post 9: The Song of my (WAGSFP) Life
So in terms of the song I chose, whenever I worked on my project and tried to analyze survey results (or completed medical applications outside of that) , I tended to do this while listening to music. I don’t normally listen to music with a lot of lyrics while working cause I find that the…
Testimonial: A statement testifying to benefits received
Hello all, for almost the last time! I’ve had a great time in this program. I met a lot of great people, got to continue in a lab that I really like, and of course I got paid to do work that I enjoy. One thing that I really liked about the program was the…
