Amazing people, great internship and honestly the one environment I felt understood throughout the 23 years that I have been alive. Thank you guys for everything, I'll never forget you.”</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>“Station1 was a life-changing experience. I never imagined I would have tears coming down my cheeks when saying goodbye to my mentors, instructors, and fellows. They became my family and my home away from home. Thanks to my internship, I gained significantly hands-on skills that would be crucial for my career path. The curriculum at Station1 helped me to expand my horizons and to think deeply about all the connotations of technology and innovation. I now feel confident to seize every opportunity that comes my way and to always say, "Why not?" instead of "I cannot because..."</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>"The mentorship, community norms, and atmosphere at my internship was impeccable. I had a wonderful experience there working on approachable challenges that allowed me to build my confidence as an engineer that will help me when working at future opportunities.”</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"My internship contained all the important aspects of a fulfilling research internship. It started with a critical review and took off from there. I was able to share my ideas both with my co-intern as well as my mentor. I felt like my ideas mattered and was able to adjust my research and protocol accordingly. I couldn’t imagine an internship without the support I received.”</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>"It was amazing being taught subjects that really run the spectrum while also discussing and collaborating with my peers. It kept me going through all these weeks getting to see and interact with everyone every Monday and Wednesday. I loved it.”</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>“The shared curriculum stimulated my professional growth in a way that I never thought it would. From the guest speakers, the assigned readings, LeaderShape, and the research activities I gained information and knowledge that make me a leader, a better professional, and undoubtedly a better potential engineer. I became able to differentiate equality and equity, and </em><em>I got a good sense of the importance of equity in design. Overall, what I learned from this experience will accompany me throughout my life, especially in my academic and professional journey. They will serve as a reminder each time I think to give up when I face difficulties. Also, this experience represents a stimulus of engagement to me, a call to action that will awake my consciousness to contribute in making the planet a better place for human beings to live.”</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>"</em><em>The Station1 curriculum targeted many aspects of my personal and professional life. As a scientist, it guided me to connect my research to relevant social issues. As a researcher, it gave me tools to approach my questions, succeed in a work environment and think in a broad perspective. As a person, I got to connect with fellows from around the country who share my motivation to impact society through research."</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p><em>“Station1 and this summer, as a result, has been a life-changing experience. The Instructors gave me the space to be creative, think deeply, and make calculated goals and aspirations to be a future leader in a wide array of disciplines. They helped me embrace my true passion for helping people in urban communities and gave me the advice to be the leader and trailblazer in equitable education and policy. I will always remember this experience as one that changed my career trajectory forever and I couldn't be more honored to have been selected for such a once in a lifetime opportunity. I only hope something like this can be offered to more students of color and those of disadvantaged backgrounds to help others find their true passions and be the socially driven leaders of the future. Thank you for everything.” </em></p><p><strong>For More Information See <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5992e994bebafb41ac4baa11/t/5dbb33c0253f4f10b0b14c64/1572549584967/SFF2020_4+Pager.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Flyer</a> and to Apply:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.station1.org/sff" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.station1.org/sff</a></p></div></div>

<Title>Researcher of the Week: Anna Feerick</Title>

The goal of this project is to investigate a passive sampling method to determine concentrations of prioritized PFAS in environmental samples.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Who is your mentor(s) for your project?</strong></div><div>My mentors are Dr. Lee Blaney and Dr. Ke He in the Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental engineering department. I was introduced to Dr. Blaney through Dr. Tara Carpenter in the chemistry department. Dr. He is a postdoctoral research who is has continued working in the lab after obtaining his PhD. I chose these individuals because they are working towards positive change within the environment, something I also aspire to do.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>How did you become interested in this project?</strong></div><div>My interest in this project stems from my previous work on contaminates within the Chesapeake Bay. I began learning about other contaminants and their health effects. PFAS are one of the more troubling groups of compounds due to their pervasiveness and health effects. This impassioned me to work with this group of chemicals.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What has been the hardest part about your research/What was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?</strong></div><div>The hardest part is developing a new idea.

Our graduate programs are highly interdisciplinary and flexible in structure, thereby encouraging integrative and focused investigation. BGS students enjoy a wide range of supplemental training and social activities sponsored by their graduate program, its associated departments, and the central BGS office. Many graduates successfully pursue careers in academic research, while others embark on careers in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, government research, science journalism, patent law, and other associated fields. Students enrolling in BGS doctoral programs have the option of applying to certificate programs in medicine, public health, and environmental health sciences. The programs offer intensive supplemental training provided by expert practitioners and researchers in these fields. Participants are expected to complete the certificate program and doctoral program requirements concurrently.</span><strong><span> </span></strong></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>You may apply to one of the graduate groups in BGS via our online application. </span><strong><span>The deadline for Fall 2020 enrollment is December 1, 2019.</span></strong><span> Details about the application process are available at </span><span><a href="https://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/admissions.html" title="https://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/admissions.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Biomedical Graduate Studies Ph.D. applicants</a></span><span>. </span><strong><span>BGS does not require or accept GRE scores (general or subject tests).</span></strong></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>We are pleased to announce that </span><u><span>WE WILL WAIVE THE $80 APPLICATION FEE</span></u><span> for all applicants who participate in the McNair, MARC, MBRS-RISE, ENDURE, NIH PREP, LSAMP, Meyerhoff Scholars Program, Millennium Scholars Program, and Leadership Alliance programs. </span><strong><span>To request a waiver, please email Dr. Arnaldo Diaz at </span></strong><a href="mailto:bgs@pennmedicine.upenn.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong><span>diaza@pennmedicine.upenn.edu</span></strong></a><strong><span> before submitting your application.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span><br></span></strong></p><p><strong><span><span>For students continuing their undergraduate studies through Fall 2020, you may be interested in the </span><a href="http://www.med.upenn.edu/suip/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP)</span></a><span>, a ten-week intensive research experience designed for students interested in graduate study in the biomedical sciences.
