Internship Takeaway: "I learned about the important role the Science journals play in promoting innovative and high-quality research to a wide audience. Also, I was able to see how wide the reach of AAAS is and how helpful it can be to my peers who are looking for career opportunities, outlets for activism, or even just a credible article to share."

"I had no previous experience in any scientific field but was drawn to AAAS by its highlight on science’s ability to address human rights issues along with many other social justice concerns."
