Responses from former interns:

I was able to gain a more realistic picture of the daily life of a research scientist.  The increased level of responsibility that I gained this summer confirmed my desire to continue doing research. --- Carolyn Olson (Psychology)

 

I learned how to work out experiments that had results that were not quite expected, and understood how important it is to think of a solution to these unexpected problems in many different ways  --- Zeah Venitelli (Biology)

 

I have learned much about the scientific process and have gained a great insight into how projects are designed.  --- Aimee Peck (Chemistry)

 

My mentor was marvelous.  While she was demanding and had high expectations, she also offered tons of guidance, help, and advice.  --- Sasha Ban (Biology)

Additional Notes: Assignments will be made early Spring semester.
