"The best part of my internship here has been getting to know the scientists at EOS as both professionals and as people. Research seemed somewhat nebulous to me before but now I am not at all intimidated because I see it is a process like any other, and there has always been someone to support and guide me. The Research and Discover program has been a wonderful opportunity to learn and explore aspects of science that are new to me." —Erica Darken
