Pheronym’s 2023 -2024 undergraduate interns were two women from the University of California (UC) Davis. Hanna Briggs was a third-year undergraduate student from the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. She found her training very complementary to her summer internship at UC Davis.
Willow Jungling was a fourth-year undergraduate student at the UC Davis Department of Food Science and Technology. As soon as she graduated in the summer of 2024, she was offered a full-time salaried position at Oobli, which Willow credits to the laboratory skills she learned at Pheronym. Willow’s interview was hands-on laboratory skills. At Oobli, they were so impressed with her laboratory research skills during her interview that she was hired immediately. She was asked “Where did you learn your laboratory research skills?” She said, “I learned everything at Pheronym.”
Our interns tell us the research experience and professional development they received during their time at Pheronym helped them in their careers. We are always happy to watch our interns grow and follow their wonderful career news.
