UNDERGRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
|
I have worked with and mentored students from numerous programs including the Careers in Science Internship Program at the California Academy of Sciences, Project TRUE at the Wildlife Conservation Society and Tyson Summer Fellows at Washington University in St Louis.
I am dedicated to helping undergraduates gain both lab and field based research experience. If you are an undergraduate or post-bac student in the STL area (especially if you are at Washington University) feel free to contact me regarding possible projects, work-study, and volunteer opportunities. Unfortunately, I am not taking high school students at this time. |
