Hi Andrea,

Many Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies have summer intern programs - I would hunt down those in your area and get in touch with them.  Most programs pay very well, last 10-12 weeks and begin the review process by early May.

Good luck.
Mary

Hello all,
I am interested in getting some practical lab experience through an internship or summer job with a lab, but I have no idea how to find such a lab. I am graduating from college in May with a Biology major and hope to go on to graduate school for biology research next fall. Research experience would really look good on my application! I have taken a class in histology and have done some work in histology for my senior research project, so I am familiar with some of the procedures, and I am very teachable. If anyone has any suggestions of places I could apply, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Andrea 

PS - I am located in the Chicago area, so anything around Chicago would be especially helpful. Thanks!
