I'm learning so much from my job...

I swear, once I finish this internship, I need to go on Jeopardy. The last few articles I've written have been treasure troves of general and not-so-general information, including but not limited to:

*Slavery in Midwestern states
*World War II performers (Irving Berlin, Elsie Janis...)
*Plasma rocket propulsion
*Pocket x-ray machines
*Hybrid cars that plug into the power grid, and make you part of that grid
*How batteries work
*How supercapacitors work (they're the future of batteries)
*The difference between specific and innate immune systems

When I work on this stuff, I end up feeling ultra-informed, as well as ultra-productive. Will hopefully provide enough motivation to finish the last transcript and article I have--if I do that, when I get back from break, all I have to do is edit some video, do one more interview, and relax a bit for a few weeks. (Maybe.)
