Highschool Intern! #4

Closed dinapaul closed 1 year ago

dinapaul commented 2 years ago

Hi! I hope this finds you well. I am reaching out because I came across your research on mental illness and neurological disorders, and found it to be extremely fascinating. For some background, I am a rising senior at Burlington High School and intend to major in neuroscience in college. For the past few months, I have interned at Northeastern’s Center for Cognitive and Brain Health as a research assistant, working alongside graduate students and postdocs to study how exercise affects cognition and brain health. This included experience with EEG, biospecimen collecting, MRIs, and more. Throughout this journey, I found a heavy interest in brain imaging and neurological disorders. Patients with mental illness and brain health issues were screened out of our research process, which often left me questioning- how would their brains scan under the MRI? How drastically would their EEG results differ? As I move on from my position at Northeastern, I would like to now focus on exploring the medicinal side of neuroscience. Discovering treatments and finding solutions to these brain health concerns is something I am passionate about, and hope to possibly study in the future. The Senseable Intelligence Group targets all of my research interests, therefore, I would be incredibly grateful for an opportunity to intern there. Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a great day!

Respectfully yours, Dina Paul 857-756-3280 dinapaul424@gmail.com
