Wage War Against Cancer
Jake Griner spent 13-weeks under the mentorship of a principal investigator at the Center for Cancer Research, part of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.
"While there, I designed five experiments to test my hypothesis that a low dose of radiation could be used in combination with cetuximab, a chemotherapy drug, could be used against chordoma, a cancer of the bones of the skull and spine, with greater efficacy than if given alone. The results of the experiments were published in an academic paper."
Work to Save Sharks
Marine Biology major Molly Kennedy spent two months in Sodwana Bay, South Africa, interning with Sharklife Conservancy, where she assisted in monitoring shark and marine animal movements by maintaining Baited Remote Underwater Video cameras and cataloging footage obtained from them.
“It was an extremely unique opportunity that allowed me to gain field and data collection experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get their foot in the door with shark research. I cannot encourage students enough to take advantage of experience-based internships; there’s truly nothing else like it!”
