Voices of Participants

Despite being online there were many activities in which we could take part.

It was a nice, new experience that I think any person aspiring to become a scientist would appreciate.

Even if I didn’t get to travel there, it was still very fun!

It is very fulfilling even though it ‘s held online.

Eventually, without any doubt I can say NIGINTERN was a very valuable experience for me. To all fellows who passionate over science especially for genetic biology, I highly recommend you to join as the NIGINTERN 2022!

NIG internal seminars were really great because the topics were diverse and eye-opening. And after the presentations, there were always lots of questions which created an active academic atmosphere.

I enjoyed my internship overall as all NIG members were very very friendly and supportive. It was a pleasure to meet such a great community of inspired and talented scientists.

It has been my honor to learn about the work environment of NIG. Also, I just met 12-amazing interns from around the world and we connected to each other regardless of the time zone and language barrier.
