In the new internship program offered through the Thermal Biology Institute (TBI), students work on campus directly with MSU faculty members, then complete an internship with industry research partners. The four students selected, and the locations of their summer internships, are Conner Bailey (Pacific Northwest National Labs), Evangaline Koonce (National Renewable Energy Lab), Daniel McDonald (Lucigen Corporation), and Laura Whitmore (Pacific Northwest National Labs). The program, supported by Montana NSF EPSCoR, is designed to promote lasting relationships between TBI and partners in industry and at national laboratories.
