BML-SRJC Internship Program

Hold On, We're Going Fishing

Eduardo will be transferring to San Francisco State University for Fall 2019 to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology. This summer, he spent his internship working in the Morgan Lab with Helen Killeen and Sadie Small.    

Understanding the Importance of Animal Behavior in Science

My name is Yangjum Sherpa and I am a third year student at SRJC. My major is Biology and I am interested in the field of Neuroscience. It is difficult to find an internship however, I was very lucky to intern at UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab (BML). I was mentored by Ashley Smart, who is currently a PHD student. It was a wonderful experience to learn science with a friendly and down to earth mentor at a marine laboratory surrounded by breathtaking ocean view. After taking Bio 2.2 (Animal Biology) class, I was fascinated by different behaviors of animals based on their surroundings.

Into the Velvet Jungle

Tyler Schatto is a student at Santa Rosa Junior College. He was mentored this summer by Luis Morales and Suzanne Olyarnik.

Chemistry in a Marine World

Daphne Bradley is a second year at the Santa Rosa Junior College and is pursuing a degree in chemistry. This summer she worked with Sarah Merolla, the lab technician for the Bodega Ocean Acidification Research group. During her time at BML she collaborated on several projects related with seagrasses, mussels, and oysters.

Q & A with SRJC Internship Alumn: Fabricio Gomez

SRJC Intern Fabricio Gomez and BML graduate student mentor Katie DuBois survey the rocky intertidal during the Summer 2017 internship program. Fabricio is now completing a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in molecular cell biology at Sonoma State University.

Q: What kind of research experience did you have at BML and what did you learn about marine science or doing science in general?

Santa Rosa Junior College-BML Internship Program

Through this collaboration, Santa Rosa Junior College and the Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute Bodega Marine Laboratory hope to contribute to increased diversity within the sciences as well as foster stronger ties between both institutions and local communities.
