Jonah completed an internship with the American Museum of Natural History during Summer 2021. Here is what Jonah has to say about his experience:
Because the internship was completed remotely, and because there was some confusion about when I could start the internship, I started later than all of the other interns and I felt extremely redundant and "outside". The other interns and the museum personnel were kind to me, I just felt like I did not and could not contribute meaningfully to the project.
What did you unexpectedly learn?
I learned how to use the 3D Slicer digital tool to digitally deconstruct objects.
Would you recommend this internship to others?
I might recommend if it were held in person. However, if it were to remain remote, I would caution against it unless the applicant's passion for dragonflies is substantial.
