Today marks the end of the 7th week of my internship. This week I’ve had a pretty light work load because most of my tasks have already been completed. I spent a lot of the week in meetings to discuss final modifications to the Osaka Photonics Initiative and Core to Core Websites. I also spent a lot of time finishing the documentation for both websites. Both websites will be updated over the next 5 years so I need to leave behind sufficient documentation to explain how to do that. I am also helping to create resources for both sites during the remainder of my stay. This includes writing articles and video recording and editing I will be doing for interviews next week. The projects I am working on still have a lot of behind the scenes polishing work that needs to be done. Towards the end of the week we uploaded both projects to the center’s server. I’ll be spending time optimizing the website for different devices in order to speed up load time and control the content that is displayed. This includes selectively showing different resolution images, content, font size and padding. I’m am feeling pretty confident going into my last week. I think I will be able to be able to get to a good stopping point by the time I finish my internship. This internship is turning out to be a great experience for me. I have been able to network with many individuals in the Science Industry and get a lot of experience in the field.

It is really good practice for you to create documentation to leave behind. This is a vital part of the process when people work on a project for a finite period, then move on. And yet, it is often overlooked. You should really get in the habit of doing this for all projects, because if nothing else, you will create directions for yourself when you return to the project after some time away. This happens far more often than students realize as you head off into your working life.
