Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis I would attend online meetings my supervisors thought would be relevant for me to attend, I would read documentation to advance on my projects, sometimes make presentations of my findings, or do some excel tasks given out to me.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility, nothing huge, but substantial enough for me to understand what it feels like, as well as the weight of what I was doing.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Aside from less involvement with the site and different organisms due to covid-19 it was amazing, I think it really was the best it could have been given the circumstances and my supervisors did an amazing job. I really enjoyed myself and by the end of it there was a lot I wanted to explore still, I learnt a lot and it was really interesting. Hopefully I'll be learning some more in the future!

Prepare thoroughly and find out what you like about what they offer. Ask them what they do on a day to day basis, what their background is, what they are pationate about.
