Sarah : All about me

-
Hello my name is Sarah Azmal.

I am currently 16 years old going into junior year at an engineering science magnet school. My interests and hobbies includes reading and makeup. I am interested in going into a medical career. Being in an engineering and science school has been giving me options on what I would want to be in the future. I have always enjoyed the arts but going to after schools that have to do with science have always interested me more. For example when I first started going to evolutions I have realized the passion I have for science. The things we do in Evo such as going around the museum and learning things from fossils to bugs have been fascinating to me.


Ever since I have been going to Evo it has been giving me opportunities such as giving me the opportunity of being in this internship. The reason on why I decided to accepted going into this internship was because I wanted to push myself into doing things that are not usually what I would do. But I have pushed my myself and have been applying to so many programs in the summer and now I get to not only work with Yale students but to also work in a field that I have never even heard about. Also for this internship I also wanted to be able to do learn more about myself and to see if I would like invertebrate paleontology and if I wanted to pursue a career in that type of field. Now that I am going into my third year of high school I should start thinking about what I should pursue in, what attracts me the most, and what am I most interested in and this internship would help me do so.

We have been learning about the Western Interior Seaway and the formations that the fossils come from. Our project was about the Niobrara Chalk, Pierre Shale, and Fox Hills Formations. We compiled a bunch of data about the geologic makeup of the formations (the lithology), the different species found in each formation (the biodiversity), and we used the data to determite what the environment was like in our discussion/conclusion. We went to the beach on Wednesday to see if we could find any invertebrates. We found a lot of crabs, snails, and a few clams. We found a large, living horseshoe crab as well.

After completing the first week of CRISP ( Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena), I had the opportunity to participate in research and experimentation based on expounded presentations, tutorials and individual lessons with faculty. The project that I am working on this summer involves the use of the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), an analytical mass technique instrument, used to analyze nanoparticles of specific elements. This week we will be using the ICP-MS to analyze dilutions of Iron Sucrose in aqueous form; testing our hypothesis if the ICP-MS instrument would detect Iron or Ferric Hydroxide. In addition to  using the ICP-MS we will be looking at the composition  size of Siver (Ag) nanoparticles; using methodology to study the concentration of Silver . The detection of elements or compounds is essential because Ferric Hydroxide ( Fe(OH)₃) is the interior of Iron Sucrose; when placed into the ICP-MS the molecules are vaporized, dried,

     At this point in time, my internship has been over for about a week and I am planning what I want to include on my poster. I have been brainstorming ideas of possible research questions that could apply to what I did during my internship, but this is proving to be a difficult task because most of the work I did revolved around cataloging outflows rather than actually exploring a question. So far, I have been able to come up with my methods and procedures and some of the basic information that I want to include on my poster about outflows and star formation. I also have results for my research in the sense that I have different types of images of various outflows in the Orion Nebula to showcase on my poster. However, I do not have results that exactly answer any specific research question at this point.      Throughout my internship, I learned things such as what star formation is and what happens during it, how to look for outflows, how to use various computer programs such Glue,
