Chemistry Research Program
I was a Chemistry major and I love conducting scientific research. I was able to learn new laboratory skills that made me more marketable to employers. The research that I conducted during my summers with my mentor helped me get my first published science article.
Having a published scientific article is a big thing for scientists. I was also paid to present at a national American Chemical Society conference. You can look at Science Societies here. I was able to interact with other chemists and science professionals. These are just some of the many benefits of conducting scientific research.
This is a comprehensive list of programs that you can apply for. Remember to check dates and requirements for each program.
