AIKEN, S.C. – More than 50 undergraduate and graduate students presented their research at the EM Savannah River National Laboratory’s (SRNL) annual summer intern poster session July 25.

   The event was the culmination of a summer spent in scientific inquiry for lab interns who participated in real life research projects ranging from environmental remediation and robotic sensors to nanomaterials and 3D imaging.

   The poster session included students from the Savannah River Environmental Sciences Field Station and SRNL interns participating in a variety of programs including the EM Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP), the DOE Office of Science – Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI), DOE Fellows – Florida International University, and the Nuclear Workforce Initiative – Augusta University.
