Life in Belgium is getting exciting now, and with recent
world cup success, everyone here is strongly rooting for Belgium to win it all.

But when we aren’t celebrating goals and victories, I am
spending a lot of time in the lab.
My project is really exciting, and is focused on sorting
droplets inside of a microfluidic device. The project has applications for
screening cells, drugs, and much more!

On the weekends us interns can go explore the nearby cities
and have been taking advantage of this great privilege.
This past weekend, some of the interns went to Bruges, a
city off the coast of Belgium.
Bruges is a very cool tourist spot with beautiful
architecture and lots of delicious food.
And in the spirit of Belgium, while we were there I bought a
kilogram of chocolate (all in one big brick!).

Also last Friday IMEC hosted its annual summer festival! It
was filled with free food, free drinks, and live music! It was a lot of fun,
and the party ended up running for almost 8 hours!

This next weekend us interns are planning on heading to
Paris, and I’m super excited to learn about their culture and eat plenty of
croissants :)
Overall, time in Belgium is really flying by, and it is hard
to believe that we are almost done with our 4th week!
