2022 Summer internship success

Date: July 29, 2022

This summer the Sarkar Lab hosted Madeline Feldner, a local high school student from Holton-Arms School, for a science internship. During her time with our lab, she learned about acoustic signal processing and biomaterial characterization techniques, impressing us with her ability to quickly learn and communicate about new topics. Here's what Madeline shared about her experience:

"The biggest takeaway I had from my time spent at GW was how interdisciplinary scientific resea
