Summer Opportunities for a Hopeful Neuroscience Major?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what I should do this summer; I'm an aspiring neuroscience major and really want to show that with extra work during the summer. Any ideas? They do not have to be a school-based program. Internships, programs, camps, anything at all are all welcome. They also don't need to be specific (i.e. you don't have to give me a specific internship, just an idea of where I might find one)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
