Research Intern

June 2019 • Davis, CA

What I liked

It has been a wonderful opportunity for me to get hands-on experience doing research, especially as someone who plans to enter into a PhD program.

What I wish was different

I would have loved to be able to dedicate more time to my internship over the summer but could not because I was taking summer courses as well.

Advice

Getting involved in research early can be a huge advantage to students who are interested in graduate school. It can help boost your confidence in your own abilities and also help you determine if you have any actual interest in doing research.
