How did your interns make a positive contribution?
Lara was able to establish experimental protocols for a new cell line which will nicely complement our other work. This is a task we have been meaning to do for a while but it always got pushed down the priority list. But now we know this works we can utilise this system.
Summary of your experience:
Overall, another excellent experience with the A2i scheme. My intern was highly motivated and productive and the A2i team made the whole process very simple for me – for once University admin was very minimal! I would happily do this again next year.
