“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the JIC and learned a lot. I felt my work was valued and I enjoyed being part of a research team and having the opportunity to contribute to a real research project”

Rebecca Gail Chapman - Undergraduate Summer Student (2008)

“This project allowed me to see at close hand the way science works on a day-to-day and on a broader level in terms of solving problems and decision making. I enjoyed both the freedom of this working environment but also the challenges and this project is certainly a significant factor in my decision to pursue post-graduate study with the view of becoming a researcher”

Domininc Conquest - Undergraduate Summer Student (2008)

The Programme is funded by the Nuffield Foundation, Gatsby Foundation and the BBSRC
