WHY A SUMMER INTERNSHIP???

1) to gain experience while learning about a potential career.

2) make contacts with people who will assist in your post-graduation steps (letters of recommendation for med school, grad school or getting a job).

3) something interesting to put on your resume (better than working at Target).

4) to have fun!

Here are some links to summer internships in the biological sciences:
