2007 Borlaug-Ruan International Interns
|
An all-expense-paid, eight-week hands-on experience, the prestigious Borlaug-Ruan International Internship provides exceptional high school students the opportunity to work with world renowned scientists and policymakers at leading research centers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
In the Summer of 2007, twelve interns traveled to Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, The Philippines and Taiwan to get a firsthand view of pressing food security and nutritional problems in poverty-stricken areas and take part in ground-breaking field and laboratory-based research.
Upon their return, each intern submits a research report and reflection paper documenting their personal experiences and the outcomes of their research projects.
