A testimonial from a previous Research Intern
鈥淭he research I have conducted for the archives has been a wonderful experience. As someone with a background in History of Science, I have been able to research topics as varied as molecular biology and model organism studies, which I plan to formulate into Ph.D. dissertation topics as I pursue my career to become a Historian of Modern Biology. Working at the archives of a scientific institute of such renown as Laboratoryhas allowed me not only to research topics of interest but also to learn the intricacies of archival work and contribute to the archives goals of research and preservation.鈥
