The CROET Summer Intern class has begun work in the faculty labs. They are shown attending presentations by Dan Austin and Dr. Kent Anger about the mid-August poster session in which all interns present and defend professional scientific posters that describe the research they conducted during the summer. The presentations provide information about the component parts of science posters, preparation techniques and printing. The 2012 CROET summer interns and the faculty labs where they are working are listed below.  Faculty commit to providing a research project for interns in their labs and to support the development of their posters.  This is a voluntary program for faculty.  These 15 interns were selected from 127 applicants for this year’s program.
