We are thrilled to be participating as an employer for Opportunites for All summer internship program. Our two interns spent a month with Drs. Connie Ha and Moriah Sandy, learning about the microbiome and pathways to careers in research. After conducting experiments and demonstrating impressive aseptic technique, the interns presented their findings to the BCMM community. We look forward to hosting OFA interns again in the future!
