In this episode of our podcast, we highlight our 2022 Summer Intern Program. Each summer, undergraduate interns work with faculty mentors in basic and applied research over a three-month paid summer internship. Over the summer, interns conduct a research project in their host faculty member’s laboratory. OccHealthSci’s internship program begins in June and concludes in mid-to-late August with interns presenting their work at a poster session. We typically receive 100-145 applicants each summer. OccHealthSci's Undergraduate Summer Internship Program began in 1995 and is designed to introduce undergraduate students to biomedical and occupational health research. We provide unique research opportunities across various basic and applied research areas. Whether studying molecules, cells, organ systems, non-human organisms, or gathering data in the community, students will gain valuable experience conducting a specific project aligned with their host faculty member’s research. We spoke to 4 of our 2022 Summer Interns as they share their experience working alongside institute researchers and how this experience will inform their future careers in research, clinical health, and public health. Today, we learn about the different research projects from each of our guests. Our podcast guests: -Ayeisha Haswarey, Portland Community College (Bowles Lab) – The impact of two shift schedule types on post-shift blood pressure in firefighters. -Breanna Repp, Oregon State University (Butler Lab) – Determining the receptor in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) androgens use to regulate circadian rhythms. -Zoe Sanderson, Lewis and Clark College (McHill Lab) – The influence of inconsistent sleep schedules on cognitive performance in night nurses. -Judith Solomon, Portland State University (Shea Lab) – Analyzed the impact of daytime versus nocturnal sleep on K-complex density.
