Blog Submission #1:
Greetings from Los Angeles! I’m Steve Guzman and this is my final summer
research experience here at UCLA.
Currently, I am completing a first authorship manuscript. These past few weeks have been extremely busy
trying to wrap up my project. I am writing
an article about the longitudinal changes that occur within single motor units
in upper limb rhesus monkeys after a spinal injury. I spend most of my days generating figures
and reading articles. At times it can be
quite tedious work but my main motivation is that I’ll have my first
publication out soon! Aside from working on my project I’ve been mentoring new
incoming transfer students who are participating in summer research
programs. Aside from all the work at lab
and the mentoring, I’ve been playing a lot of beach volleyball on the
weekends. I’ve realized that this could
possibly be my last summer in Los Angeles or even California for a while, and
so I must enjoy the beach as much as possible! The first image is a picture of
me (don’t mind my goofy expression) at Bruin Plaza when UCLA was flooded by the
main water line. Thankfully, no one was
harmed. The second picture is of me at Will Rogers Beach playing beach
volleyball. I hope all my other fellow MARCers are
enjoying themselves this summer and I can’t wait to hear from them soon!
