Joana Araújo, one of our students, successfully defended her undergraduate internship report today, and we couldn't be happier to share the news! Congratulations, Joana! 🎉 Joana aimed to use photo-identification to study and identify common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) along the North Coast of Portugal. For this, she focused on "cuts", "scars" and pigmentation patterns in the fins of the photographed dolphins, which make them distinctive marked individuals. This process also allowed us to identify and quantify the external deformities of these dolphins. Here's to your bright future ahead! ✨💙 #CETUSproject #marinemammals #cetaceans #ocean #oceanlife #oceanconservation #research #cetaceanmonitoring #cetaceanresearch

🚘 Unique opportunities for applied learning & travel ☔️ A hands-on internship alongside a local WKU alumnus 🏡 A second home here on the Hill Senior Jake Disinger chose WKU because of the strong meteorology program, but discovered a world of opportunities during his time on the Hill. "I never would have thought I would have the opportunity to travel and have these experiences, let alone speak at conferences [like the National Weather Association's Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh]," Disinger remarked. In one of his roles, Disinger is an intern for Weather or Not BG. Created by WKU alumnus Landon Hampton, WXorNot BG focuses on real-time weather monitoring and emergency preparedness for seven counties in South Central Kentucky. As part of his internship, Disinger prepares forecasts, writes blogs that explain weather phenomena to a non-technical audience and shares written and video updates on social media - especially in rapidly changing situations. "Something that solidified that this is what I want to do and what I am meant to do is the opportunity to help people. When we provided the forecast before the 2021 tornadoes, people who took our advice [to find shelter] and had their homes destroyed that night attributed a lot of their safety to our preparedness. Knowing that - in some indirect or direct way - we can help people or even save their lives is the most rewarding thing ever," Disinger reflected. Reflecting on advice he would like to share with future Hilltoppers, Disinger highlighted the value of taking initiative in your career. "Get out there and take chances on things. One of the reasons that I got the opportunity with WXorNot BG was because I sent my resume to the man in charge. You need to create these opportunities. Do not expect them to all come to you. You are going to get told 'no' a lot, but eventually, you are going to get an opportunity where someone says 'yes' and it will change your life," Disinger shared.

Meet Sarah, a high school student with a dream to become a marine biologist. 🐬 She loved the ocean but felt overwhelmed by how big her dream was. She didn’t know where to start. One day, Sarah decided to take a small step. She borrowed a book on marine life from her school library. It was packed with colorful pictures and easy-to-understand facts. That book sparked her curiosity even more! Next, Sarah joined a marine biology club at school. She met other students who shared her passion. They went on beach cleanups and learned about sea creatures together. Sarah felt inspired and more confident. With each small step, Sarah got closer to her dream. She applied for a summer internship at a local aquarium and got accepted! It was hard work, but she loved every moment of it. Today, Sarah is studying marine biology at her dream university. She still remembers how one small step led to another, building a path to where she is now. Remember, every big achievement starts with a small action. Whether it’s learning a new skill, starting a project, or exploring a passion—take that first step. You never know where it might lead you! 🌟 Let’s inspire each other to take those small but meaningful steps towards our dreams. What’s one small step you’ve taken recently?

Making professional connections can sometimes take a bit of courage, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the kindness and reciprocity that meets you when you take a chance and introduce yourself! During the pandemic, I was watching a marine science documentary called "Turtle Odyssey", and a portion of the program focused on the conservation work of the Queensland Turtle Research Program off the coast of Australia. Since sea turtles and marine science are interests of mine, I decided to reach out to the primary researcher named Dr. Ian Bell, who was interviewed for the documentary. I wasn't sure if he would have the time or the interest to connect with me, a non-scientific stranger from across the world, but I sent him a letter telling him how I had come across his work, asked about how his research was going, and (on the off chance) whether the institute ever offered international internship program partnerships in marine science. In a few weeks, Dr. Bell did respond to my letter. He was in the midst of some intensive research at the time, and unfortunately there weren't any internship opportunities on the horizon. Despite this, he was appreciative of my note, and he even offered me links to several resources so that I could continue exploring marine science as an interest, as well as some of the latest research from the Queensland program. In case any of us are feeling intimidated about reaching out and forming new connections, I'd encourage you to take the chance. Show appreciation for someone's work, or express your interest in their field—it can go a long way. Even if the end goal is not a job or internship opportunity, establishing new connections is a deeply enriching experience, both personally and professionally. So send the letter, the email, reach out and say hello! #networking #connect #marinescience #colleagues

52impact is excited to introduce Sandra Kosgei our newest intern for the summer! To introduce her, we conducted a small interview to share an inside look at how 52impact works with our #interns. --- 🌳 What are your day-to-day tasks across #52impact? My internship is focused on linking #biodiversity indices with satellite indices. The goal of my work is to establish the relationship between biodiversity indices and vegetation indices derived from satellite imagery. 🌞 What are you enjoying most about your internship? For me, biodiversity is a relatively new topic, and I have been enjoying learning more about it. I am also enjoying the #opportunity of developing and applying practical skills in this new domain. The internship allows for independence but with a lot of support allowing for personal and #professional growth 💡 Why are biodiversity and #satellite data important to clients? If you can relate biodiversity to the relationship with satellite indices, you can predict what to expect such as drought among other challenges. For example, my research is specific to the #Dune areas in the #Netherlands. If a strong correlation is established, it suggests that #vegetation indices can be used to estimate biodiversity levels across large areas for dune ecosystems. 🌎 What is your take aways of working at 52impact? When I was looking for #internships, I wanted to explore how #spatial data can fit into corporate settings. I love that the company is focused on growing, international, and passionate about the team is in making a positive difference! It was also exciting to see that 52impact’s work can be #global. --- Sandra is a second-year student at the Universiteit Twente, currently doing her masters in Spatial engineering. She has a passion for leveraging geoinformation to address #complex #societal issues, and has been an great asset to our team! Feel free to reach out to us at info@52impact.nl for any interest in internships. 😊

As a part of the honors program, one of the requirements is to study abroad, so I always knew about the various faculty-led study abroad programs. Being a biology student and taking classes with Dr. Havran is what led me to choose this program. 𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓱𝓪𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓪𝓽 𝓒𝓪𝓶𝓹𝓫𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮? Campbell’s interdisciplinary approach to education helped prepare me for this experience. While in Hawaii, I learned about so much more than Hawaiian ecology and culture, and I think my time at Campbell prepared me to be receptive of that. 𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓷 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹? I learned about the many native plants and animals in Hawaii, what makes them different from other organisms, and how locals are trying to preserve them. Additionally, I learned how the different people groups living in Hawaii and their respective customs come together to define Hawaiian culture. 𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓰𝓻𝓸𝔀 𝓭𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮? As I am working on my PT school applications, I am thankful that this opportunity exposed me to other cultures, unlike the ones I’m used to in NC. The ability to relate to and understand different cultures will help me be a better physical therapist as I enter my professional career.
