I’m really eager to find internships that can help me build my research portfolio — i’m especially interested in opportunities related to ecological studies or genetics. If anyone has recommendations or even personal experiences to share, I’d love to hear them.
I totally understand the importance of building your research portfolio. I found a great biology internship through my university’s career services — they helped me connect with local labs focused on genetics. Have you checked with your school yet?
You might want to check out @vthoma18’s suggestion about career services. I found an internship that focused on genetics through a local conservation organization. It really helped me blend my interests while gaining experience — just like watering a plant to help it grow, every little opportunity counts.
Have you considered reaching out to local non-profits? I landed a great ecological internship that way; the hands-on experience was invaluable. @sophia85_b, do you think that could be a good route?
