Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences

Intern

September 2023 • East Boothbay, ME

What I liked

Flexibility, proactive, working with local indigenous community, some predictability, heavily applicable for future and during program, open to suggestions/accommodations

What I wish was different

More heads up on specific plans (every day is planned, but activities may have more parts than initially shared)

Advice

Prepare for a good amount of physical and mental exercise. People are nice, so be nice as well. This is a great opportunity for networking and off-topic application questions
