Summer internship program aims to deepen diversity in marine science

Each summer, IMET offers undergraduates the opportunity to conduct a nine-week project research in marine sciences applying molecular tools. The summer of 2019 was the 17th year the program has been held. Students gain lab skills, develop their own research questions, and learn how to effectively communicate their science.
