Remote internships
I have recently switched my thinking to embrace remote as the status quo rather than a short-term situation and as part of that move, we are accepting remote interns for Fall 2020.
We had two remote interns over the summer as part NSURP and this worked out very well, with two very different projects: Fernanda Ordoñez Jiménez worked on improving GMGC-mapper (one of our in-development tools), while Tobi Olanipekun worked on characterizing a protein.
Thus, we are extending the scheme and accepting remote interns. There are many possible projects and we will try to design a project to fit the student, but they can be either focused more on algorithms and tools or on biological problems.
We are going to have an Open Office Hours (i.e., a Zoom call where you can ask about anything, but this time focused on the remote internship options) on September 9 2020 @ 11am UTC (check your timezone!). Email me for the invite link.
