The SSI is an 8-week internship (June 13 – August 5, 2009) at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Interns work on a research project with an advisor of their choice, on a project relating to the discipline of that advisor. Participants also receive instruction while taking part in a curriculum that includes tours, lectures, and lab exercises on phylogenetic systematics, molecular techniques, biodiversity, evolutionary biology, global change, and other contemporary issues in the natural sciences. |
