The UC Davis Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology (CBST) has an almost unbelievable opportunity available for Los Rios MESA students. Applications has been extended to November 15^th.

They will be selecting 16 - 20 community college students in a broad range of science and engineering fields to work in intern positions for two weeks during our winter break – January 4 through 15. Every MESA student should apply! If interest is high enough, they hope to add a second program, which means another 20 spots for local students.

A $600 stipend is provided. Biophotonics is the study of the interaction of light or radiant energy with biological material – thus it employs the information and techniques from many physical and biological sciences.

They know that community college students are early in their studies, and they are going to select those who show desire and interest in learning about science and research, and are still exploring their fields of interest, not necessarily the most accomplished students. So there is no reason not to apply.

All application materials – application form, resume, personal statement and letter of recommendation – are due November 15^th.
