Summer intern podcast episode

Each summer, undergraduate interns have the opportunity to work alongside faculty mentors in basic and applied research over a three-month Summer Internship designed to introduce them to different areas of biomedical and occupational health research. In this podcast episode, we interviewed 2019 Summer Interns to hear about their hands-on experience working in research and ways their internship may help inform their future careers in research, health care and public health.

  • Martina Shannon, Western Oregon University: The impact of shift work on the health of firefighters in the Bowles Lab
