I liked that the pace of the internship was good for the summer
What I wish was different
I had wished that we could have gone in person but it was unsafe due to Covid
Advice
It was a great learning experience as all internships are when you’re open to receiving knowledge

What I liked
I loved the community I was able to become a part of at WHOI, both with the scientists and the other students in my program. I as able to learn about many different branches of oceanography to broaden my knowledge and learn about other opportunities in the field.

Advice
Make sure to go out and meet people! There are a ton of people on campus, and I'd strongly encourage them to reach out, and take advantage of all of the opportunists that WHOI has to offer

What I liked
The program was set up so that approximately 15 students from diverse backgrounds live and study oceanographic sciences together the entire summer in Woods Hole. The first month is dedicated to learning about the extensive Woods Hole community's facilities and institutions, as well as taking a diverse course on oceanographic sciences. The second half of the program included a personal, in-depth research project at one of the various town's institutions. Presenting our work to the Woods Hole community at the end of the program was very helpful in learning presentation and public speaking skills, as well as synthesizing data.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had more time to focus on my individual field research. While the housing situation was very difficult, I also found it valuable for learning how to live with many people.
Advice
Be prepared to be comfortable with less personal space and dedicating yourself (and time schedule) to your research. Enjoy the resources provided to make connections with other researchers, this was a great networking opportunity!
