Research Internship
Timeline:
Celebrating 30 years of Excellence in High School Research
Hundreds of high school students have participated in the Research Internship Program in Science and Engineering since it began in 1978. Here's a look through time at what some of our former interns are doing now and what they have to say about their time at BU.
George Zimmerman, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus of Physics, Boston University
Mentor and Co-founder of the BU Research Internship in Science and Engineering Program
"We started this program because we were interested in spreading the love of science. Our students learn a very valuable lesson: that science is a relatively disorganized search for truth. Very often you don't discover what you set out to discover. Both excitement and frustration are a part of the scientific process."
