Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm back with an update on my internship for week 34! Here's what I've been up to during my eighth week as an intern: 🌐I'm thrilled to share that I've been accepted into the NEAR Technical Speakers program. 🎤 📚I've been actively supporting the [Near Research Collective](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MyPage?accountId=research-collective.near), including tasks related to the NRC charter, DAO membership, and the Bounty course. 🤝 An article titled "[Inside the NEAR Research Collective: Blockchain Elevated](https://marmaj.org/inside-the-near-research-collective-blockchain-elevated/)," written by yours truly, is now posted on the [Marma J Foundation website](https://marmaj.org/). 📚 I've been engaging on [Twitter/X](https://twitter.com/ResearchWG), where I tweeted to encourage people to join the [NRC DAO](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MyPage?accountId=research-collective.near). 🐦 Exciting news: The [NEAR Research Collective](https://near.social/mob.near/widget/MyPage?accountId=research-collective.near) has officially welcomed 10 new individuals in researcher roles within the DAO. While we're still a long way from our goal of 100 researchers, this is definitely a milestone worth celebrating! 🎉
