Stepping into the 'most likely to get into an Ivy' arena, only to meet the legend with international science fair cred, a networked internship, and self-studied AP mastery beyond the norm. It's a reminder: competition is fierce, but your unique journey is your true strength. #AcademicCompetition #StudentLife #CollegePrep #APExams #EducationJourney #StandOut #FutureLeaders #EducationGoals #OwnYourStory

Industry vs. Academia: A Personal Reflection One of the most eye-opening experiences during my internship has been understanding the stark differences between academia and industry. In academia, the focus is on deep research and theoretical exploration, often spanning years and centered on fundamental science. In contrast, the industry operates at a much faster pace, with immediate impacts driven by customer needs and market demands. This requires quick, practical solutions that balance innovation with feasibility. Through this experience, I’ve learned that while industry emphasizes scalability and cost-effectiveness, the knowledge gained in academia is crucial. Understanding both realms is essential—not just for those entering the industry but also for students who plan to stay in academia. Having industrial insight before graduation can help direct academic research toward more practical applications, bridging the gap between theory and real-world demands. My internship has been invaluable in connecting my academic background with the practical demands of the industry. I believe that a strong foundation in both academia and industry is key to success, regardless of the career path you choose. I’m eager to continue applying these lessons as I move forward and encourage others to seek a balance between these two worlds. #industry #academia #internshipexperience

#HemoVision enables you to quickly and accurately analyse bloodstain impact patterns. Nina Le and Eugene Liscio , however, are now testing it on cessation patterns. Very interesting research with some cool footage! 🤩 Looking forward to the results! 👍 #bloodstainpatternanalysis #bpa #hemovision #forentrics #forensicscience #csi

Hey everyone, I recently joined KLU and attended the orientation session.💫 📍At KLU, I feel like I'm growing both academically and personally. 📈 The university provides me with access to experienced faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a curriculum that challenges me to think critically and creatively. I appreciate the emphasis on practical learning, with opportunities for internships, projects, and research that prepare me for real-world challenges. KLU is not just about academic excellence; it's also about holistic development. I'm gaining the skills and knowledge I need to succeed in my chosen career and make a positive impact on society. #klu #animations #videoediting #flimmaking

Are you a college or university faculty member looking to collaborate with principal investigators at national laboratories and federal research facilities? ORISE provides short- and long-term research programs for either faculty or faculty-student teams to collaborate with world-class science and engineering mentors. The length of the faculty programs vary from summer internships to year-long sabbaticals, but all programs enable faculty members to broaden their professional outlook beyond the classroom to the application of laboratory research.

Happy Massachusetts STEM Week! This year's theme focuses on “STEM starts now"—with a goal to boost the interest, awareness, and ability of all students to see themselves in STEM opportunities. We have some amazing statistics to share from Project Onramp, our summer internship program that creates access in the life sciences industry for talented, motivated college students who are under-resourced and often first-generation. What an incredible 5 years it has been! Learn more about Project Onramp: projectonramp.us. #maSTEMweek

Ever wondered if doing an internship as a PGR is really worth the time out from your research that is needed. Let the experience speak for itself, in the words of our latest Intern Alumna, Gabriela. "In summary, here are the top 3 reasons why I think an internship is worth doing for a postgraduate researcher: 1. Working in a team offers a unique experience for many PhD students, who are working on a niche intellectual question and who may have little daily communication on the topic with others. 2. Exploring new university neighbourhoods is especially useful for those postgraduates who would like to embed themselves within the University ecology long-term, as an academic or professional colleague. 3. Standing out to employers is achieved by developing skillsets that your peers would not have had the chance to during their PhD."

Welcome to the RMI Spotlight Kevin Ton ⭐ This series features our current and former students involved with the Research Mentoring Internship (RMI) Program. Today we are catching up with Kevin Ton! ⭐ Can you briefly describe your experience with RMI? And what did you gain from participating in the program? My experience with RMI started out rocky since I was really struggling to get into a lab and overall finding time to be more involved with the program. However, after I joined a lab all thanks to RMI for putting in a good word for me, which makes me stand out from other applicants; I really don’t think I could’ve joined a lab without being an RMI scholar. ⭐ What was your favorite memory in your RMI cohort? My favorite memory of my RMI cohort was the slow and steady relationship-building with everyone. I remember the first meeting being awkward and later gradually becoming friends and close acquaintances with one another in future meetings. ⭐ Now that you have graduated from RMI, can you tell us about your next steps? My next step is to take a year off to get some work experience in the biotech industry since I’ve only had an academic experience so far and plan my next step in applying to grad school.
