Intern of the Week: Sahar Mahate for Biology and HAPP! Check out Sahar's internship with Johns Hopkins Medicine!

Name:Sahar Mahate 

Internship, Co-op or Research Site:Johns Hopkins Medicine

Position Title:Undergraduate Student Researcher

Major(s)/Minor(s):Biology and Health Administration/Policy

Current Class Level:Junior

Work Term:Summer 2020

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

As lab research shifted online, my responsibilities changed a lot. When I was working at this lab in person, I injected tumors into the tibias of live animal models, operated technology for X-rays and ultrasounds on animal models, completed stress experiments and necropsies on mice and rats, and performed western blots, cell cultures, and DNA methylation analyses. With virtual work, there was a lot more focus on literature review and data analysis. We would have meetings where research was discussed, and I would be assigned specific topics to present on. We also began using a new proteomic analysis program to identify and compare pathways of primary osteosarcoma tumors and secondary pulmonary tumors to determine how commonly upregulated pathways associated with pulmonary metastasis in osteosarcoma can be inhibited. My responsibility was to work with the other undergraduate researchers in the lab to figure out how the program worked, use it to analyze the data, and present relevant findings at lab meetings. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

This is a research lab I've been working at since high school, and have continued to work with throughout college.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

This summer, I really enjoyed being able to take charge and work on an independent project with the proteomics analysis program to contribute to the lab research. It gave me the opportunity to collaborate with other undergraduate colleagues to teach ourselves something new and to share the knowledge with the researchers in the lab, as the program was new to all of them as well.

This talk will discuss data and results from the first nationwide survey of cybersecurity among local or grassroots governments in the United States, examines how these governments manage this important function. As we have shown elsewhere, cybersecurity among local governments is increasingly important because these governments are under constant or nearly constant cyberattack. Due to the frequency of cyberattacks, as well as the probability that at least some attacks will succeed and cause damage to local government information systems, these governments have a great responsibility to protect their information assets. This, in turn, requires these governments to manage cybersecurity effectively, something our data show is largely absent at the American grassroots. That is, on average, local governments fail to manage cybersecurity well. After discussing our findings, we conclude and make recommendations for ways of improving local government cybersecurity management.

Scott Resource Group, a well-established university recruitment consulting firm, is partnering with selected career centers nationwide, including UMBC, to conduct two important student research projects.  The findings of these studies will influence how employers recruit students using virtual platforms going forward – and will impact their internship program design and execution.  We’d welcome your participation in either or both of these two significant research projects.


The first survey, ‘Virtual Recruiting: What Worked, What Didn’t – and WHY’ will take a deep-dive into this semester’s pandemic-induced plunge into the world of digital recruiting.  Topics will include virtual career fairs, online recruiting events, and digital interviewing. 

The second project, ‘Impact of the Virtual Internship Experience’, will include questions for those who participated in a virtual internship this past summer, as well as those who are pursuing opportunities for summer 2021.

Scott Resource Group will hold a drawing for ten [10] $50 Amazon.com gift cards following the survey closing date for each of the research projects, and all students who have submitted a completed survey will be eligible to win.  Students are welcome to participate in either survey – or both. 

Please respond to ScottResourceGroup@comcast.net indicating your interest this way:

Request ‘W3D Survey’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive a survey for the ‘Virtual Recruiting: What Worked, What Didn’t – and WHY?’ study

Request ‘IVIE Survey’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive a survey for the ‘Impact of the Virtual Internship Experience’  study

Request ‘Both Surveys’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive both the W3D and IVIE surveys.


Please submit your email request to participate in the survey(s) by NOVEMBER 30.  Scott Resource Group will begin sending survey links the week of November 16. 


We appreciate your consideration – Let your voice be heard!
