My project entails investigating the effects of anxiety on visual performance and blinking behavior, through the use of eye tracking and electromyography recordings. I am currently doing research at the University of Crete School of Medicine in Heraklion, Greece. students that attained a Bachelor's degree to travel to different countries of the world to either pursue an English Teaching Fellowship or a Research Fellowship. The Fulbright Program is essentially a cultural exchange program that allows U.S. I am currently in the process of medical school applications, with the aim of matriculating in the Fall of 2015.ĭespite the wonderful and amazing experience I had at the University of Pittsburgh, the most significant accomplishment that I have had to date came when I was selected to be a part of the 2014-2015 U.S. My desire to pursue Neuroscience came from my upbringings with my autistic brother, who's condition pushed me to find out the answer to the question: "Why?" Although the major was tough, I was ultimately able to succeed-graduating Magna Cum Laude along with a Departmental Honors designation at graduation. I attended the University of Pittsburgh from 2010-2014 and attained a Bachelor's Degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry. I wanted to email you in regards to what I have been doing with my life ever since I graduated a little over four years ago. I hope that everything is going well at the school and I hope that everything in your life is wonderful. This is Milton Pratt, a graduate of the Poolesville High School Class of 2010 from the Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Magnet Program. Their dedication to my education is what allowed me to truly do what Bolden implored – to be fully immersed in my experiences at NASA because I was able to understand the information being presented.” Realizing in that moment how well the teachers in SMCS had equipped me to go out into the “real world” of STEM and be an active, contributing member of the field fills me with a sense of appreciation that even in this moment, almost brings me to tears.
The research, experimental design, computer programming, data collection proposals, and engineering techniques that they taught us were a simpler, more concise version of everything being done in NASA’s LRC Autonomy Incubator.
Our teachers teamed up to build an entire “unknown terrain” for us on a planet they christened “Falconia” (after the school’s mascot). While at NASA she wrote, “Being inside of the Autonomy Incubator (where they test autonomous vehicles) took me back to my high school in my Research Design class in the Science, Math, & Computer Science (SMCS) program at Poolesville High School. Of course I've had to work very hard to achieve these things, but I know without a doubt that I would not be the student, person, or scientist that I am today without SMCS. I am currently the top student in my class in my major (Biophysical Sciences), I have picked up a minor in Business, and I will be graduating in May 2017 - a year early. In all of these experiences, one thing that has remained consistent is my gratitude toward the SMCS program and everyone at PHS. “Since I've graduated I have had so many amazing experiences in STEM. In conclusion, thank you for all that you have done for me, and know that your hard work was not in vain. When I discussed the data with my mentor, I was confident in using the terminology that we learned in class, because I actually knew what the words meant. I feel as though the background in statistics gave me more credibility as a student researcher over the summer. The vague p values and t tests that we learned in class actually had a real life application. The concepts that I learned in that class helped me in completing the data analysis portion of my summer internship. I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude of being a student in your Applied Statistics class.
