Hopefully everyone's weeks have been off to a good start and DH students are enjoying their field trips. The trips are an integral part of Discover Hopkins courses and were some of my most memorable experiences from my time in DH.
This summer, I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to be a field trip TA for Abnormal Psych in Forensic Cases (I really wanted to take this class too, back in the day). So far, the class has gotten to go to a lot of interesting places, meeting many intelligent people of different fields. Yesterday, the students were able to meet with a psychiatrist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry. We kept up a really good discussion about the various effects of mental illness on different aspects on a person's life.
Today, students were able to visit the Maryland State Police Forensic Science Lab and go own a tour of the facilities and hear about many different cases that the State Police has handled. The lab has many experts in chemistry, biology, firearms, and trace evidence like fingerprints.
Aftee taking a quick lunch break, we headed right over to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center's Sleep Disorders to learn more about how sleeping really affects humans. Dr. Schwartz who spoke to us also gave the class a a quick tour of the center as well as the observation rooms. They're pretty much like hotel rooms where you have wires hooked up and have to go to sleep by around 9!

Back in Summer 2011 Austin attended our pre-college program as a Discover Hopkins student. After an amazing summer, he has returned to the Homewood campus as part of the Class of 2016.
