Last night, I didn’t do much with the other interns in the evening because I had a long meeting about marching band back at my university. Since I’m president of the band, I have to have a couple meetings over the summer to talk to the directors, exec board, section leader, etc. Later into the night, we finished watching the Elizabeth Holmes documentary for our Ethics class. I wish the one we watched went more into the legal battle, but it gave us a good understanding of everything leading up to them getting charged.

This morning, I worked on standardizing the design of our app, while Angy added more screens and Chu Chu looked over the revisions on the Intro for our paper. After, we had Ethics class with Eliot again, where we mostly talked about our thoughts on the Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos case. There were lots of layers to our discussion about respecting talent without liking the person, why people would believe her, and how her and other people’s actions led to the downfall of Theranos. The rest of the class, we talked about ethical decisions that are common in business and what usually comes from them.

The rest of today is a work day but we have a meeting with some of the other people involved in CommHEAT in the afternoon.

Here is a picture of a mural I liked in Des Moines:
