My internship at Designs That Cell was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my undergraduate degree. I went from knowing nothing about SciComm, to running my own SciComm research project and aiming to publish in academic research journals. I could not have asked for better mentors than Sarah & Natasha; they truly brought out the best in all of the interns and instilled confidence into us and our ideas. Although Designs That Cell is mostly run through online videoconferencing, I truly felt like I was a part of the team, and that my opinion was always valued & considered. I cannot thank this company enough for the most amazing summer!
