[ECOLOG-L] July internships in Panama

[Dr. Julie M. Ray, La MICA Biological Station]

Hello everyone,La MICA Biological Station, located in the mountains of central 
Panama, still has 2-3 openings for interns this July. Our program provides an 
opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain experience in the 
Neotropics. The program is not just limited to biology students, but we also 
have hosted immersion Spanish, history, art, and sociology students.This 
summer's program is running in July and August. Interns are arriving to Panama 
City either on 29 June or 01 July and we pick them up the following morning. We 
assist with arrangements for the hotel in Panama City and transportation from 
the airport.Interns are staying for 3-6 weeks and each will conduct a small 
research project. University credit can be arranged. There is also much 
opportunity to experience the local language (Spanish; prior knowledge not 
required for internship) and culture.There is a weekly fee of US$75 paid to La 
MICA in advance of your arrival to help us prepare for and and manage your 
visit. Interns manage their own food by cooking at La MICA or supporting local 
restaurants (~US$2/meal).If interested in joining us this summer, please email 
Dr. Julie Ray by responding to this message. More details can be provided at 
that time.Thank you and we hope you will join us this summer. Dr. Julie M.
