Virginia Commonwealth University
Forensic Biology Graduate Student
Summer 2021 DNA Research Intern
“I loved my internship. It blew out my expectations and I had a phenomenal summer. If you’re like me and you like being hands on, and you don’t need somebody walking you through every step, this is the place for you. They train you and then allow you to work alone and to work at your own pace, to get your experiments done, create new experiments. If you’re interested in Forensics, this is the company for you. I’m so excited to be able to present my research at the SACNAS conference, and grateful for the continued help from my internship advisors. I’m glad I’m able to keep a relationship with scientists, especially women scientists in the field.”
Our interns go on to be involved in exciting, rewarding work. Check out what Amber’s been up to!
