What precipitated your decision to switch from music to biochem? usually there isn't a lot of crossover between those fields and interests (although, oddly, I once spent a summer NSF REU with an undergrad who had made the same switch over).

LBNL in an interesting place, with tons of really smart people— congrats on getting the internship! If you're honestly interested in biochem, I encourage you to check out Carolyn Bertozzi while you're there. Don't be surprised if there is a week or two of downtime due to required safety training, getting your ID, security clearance, etc. They have very high expectations for safety standards, relative to any other lab I've worked in.

A bunch of computer scientists have written a very nice white paper on the scam that is yelp.

I skimmed through that paper and it looks like they concluded that Yelp filtering was fairly reasonable.
