The acid-bath stem cell technique mentioned last week is getting some strong skepticism. Researchers have been having difficulty reproducing the original results from Haruko Obokato, Charles Vacanti, and their colleagues. Vacanti made a statement that he would be glad to make a detailed protocol available to the public, so we may want to keep a close but discerning eye on any upcoming information on STAP cells.

You can read more on our website. Additionally, our webmaster Drew has posted articles on studies that can predict the lifespan of three-day-old C. elegans, research on the effects of an invasive species of carp in Lake Michigan, contemplation on the use of electrical implants to replace common drugs, and even the invention of medical glasses that can see through skin. Seriously!

In case you have not been paying attention: Drew is updating our website EVERY DAY. These are topics that are fun to learn about and that would be great to discuss at our BioCOM meetings. Bring us your stories and announcements at the next general meeting. When is the next general meeting? Well, I'll leave it to you to check the website calendar. Thanks Drew!

Name: Russell Corbett

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: WYPR - Baltimore

Major(s)/Minor(s): Media and Communication Studies

Expected Graduation Year: May 2014

Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research, or service- learning opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.

Pitched and researched story ideas for radio segments, performed background interviews, and booked guests.

Wrote scripts and web copy, recorded interviews, edited audio for radio play. Uploaded segment and podcast audio to the web.

Promoted programs through social media sites, like Twitter and Facebook.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

Seeing my own ideas for radio segments develop into pieces that actually get on the air.

What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another opportunity?

I got the chance to work at a radio station I love to listen to and on a favorite program of mine. If this were paid, it would be my dream job!

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

In addition to having an excellent cover letter and resume, be prepared with at least three strong story pitches to offer during the interview and then try to have as many more story ideas up your sleeve for use during the internship.

How do you see your experience as meaningful? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve completed.

I've worked very closely with all the producers at "Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast". During that time I have worked on all aspects of radio production which has helped confirm my desire to get into public media production as a career.

Please provide a short quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / the internship placement process.

I really wanted this particular internship; the first time I applied for it I didn't get it, but I went back and got it the next time it came up. Perseverance really paid off.
