Science Abroad: A Personal Account

Description:
Last summer I worked at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, through a summer research program with CPIMA (Center for Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies), a joint endeavor of Stanford, IBM, and UC-Davis. The Max Planck Institutes are among the most productive of research centers in the country and for this reason are considered by German academians to be very prestigious. They receive substantial funding from the German government, so in this respect they are similar to U.S. Department Of Energy (D.O.E.) labs. However, there are about 60 MPIs all over Germany and each has a particular focus of scientific study. As well as giving me a great opportunity to do challenging research, I had the chance to travel all over Europe during my time there, make friends from all over the world, and become acquainted with another culture.
