I’m so sorry I didn’t write sooner about my summer! As you can probably guess from the title, I ended up accepting a research position at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.
My summer fellowship at MIT was part of the Amgen Scholars Program. The Amgen Scholars Program is sponsored by the Amgen Foundation (the philanthropic arm of the huge biotech/phama Amgen corporation) to promote research for undergradates in basic life sciences. The Amgen program is hosted at ten major research universities around the country. Each university runs the program a little differently, but basically, students are placed in research labs for nine weeks and given the opportunity to conduct independent projects.
