General Discussion

CienciaPR Team member, Odmara Liz Barreto-Chang, compiled this list of summer research programs for undergrads. We will eventually build a section in the resource section for summer research opportunities and include this list. If you know of other opportunities please post them on this thread. If you attended a program listed here, please post on your experience so that other people might benefit from it.

Hello, Two years ago, in 2004, I participated in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Research Training Program for Undergraduates. This is a fantastic internship that allows the participant to experience research opportunities in his or her favorite area of study. In my case it was in the Department of Paleobiology, with Dr. Matt Carrano the curator of Dinosauria, as my advisor. This program not only allows the participant to be a researcher at one of the best museum and research institution in the world, but also offers the opportunity to visit the different collections and departments they have. During this internship I was able search for dinosaur fossils in the badlands of Wyoming and also visit another museum, the Peabody Museum in New Haven, Connecticut. As a result of my internship project, I co-authored a paper with my former advisor, Dr. Carrano, which just came out in the August 2006 issue of the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology. I was also able to meet other researchers in the museum that will help me in future investigations in the field of vertebrate paleontology. Jorge
