Ana interned served as a Ga FIB operator for micro-specimen and TEM lamella lift-out fabrication for material characterization and in-situ SEM micromechanical testing of Advanced Nuclear Materials. Watch her share her exuberance for the opportunity here:  app.altrulabs.com/player/13312260

Priscilla and Damion spent last summer as GEM interns at U.S. Department of Energy’s SLAC, where Priscilla studied the properties of perovskites, which have shown promise in solar energy applications, while Damion studied anomalies in dark matter detectors. Read more: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2024-05-0…

This year's convening will present many opportunities for GEM Consortium members and partners to advance mission-aligned objectives.

Such a serious and expensive academic step requires thoughtful introspection. Does your motivation include increased income? Or is earning an advanced degree something more personal? Attend the next GEM GRAD Lab (Getting Ready for Advanced Degrees) on 8/14 to learn more.

One way is to think about your own unique experiences and what truly excites you. Every individual possesses a distinct tapestry of experiences and interests, so spend some time this summer in quiet introspection and reflection.

Yes — 100%! The collaborative nature of STEM research fosters a close-knit community of international scholars, so arrange meetings with your professors to seek recommendations for universities with robust research programs in your areas of interest.

Explore department profiles using resources such as Peterson’s Guide to Engineering or Science Graduate Programs, write emails to the departments to ask questions not addressed by their websites, and visit the campus to gain firsthand knowledge.

For more information and to register, please contact ASAP, Jamila at [email protected]. Seats are limited, and the registration deadline is Friday, July 25.

Join us to learn about the prestigious GEM Fellowship for graduate students pursuing STEM degrees, and why graduate school is so important. But you must register to attend: gemfellowship.org/tec-event/gem-…

The application cycle closes November 8. Complete your application ASAP to have the best chance at success! Begin your application here: egem.gemfellowship.org/login#/egem/lo… 📸 Artem Podrez

Resources such as Peterson’s Guide to Engineering or Science Graduate Programs (petersons.com/graduate-schoo…), the Gourman Report, and US News can be helpful in your research process.

These questions include: Is there adequate computing infrastructure? Are resources such as computer time, lab space and lab equipment adequate? What is the condition of the library? What is the social life like?
