Beyond the Bench

Field trips—including a visit to Pfizer, Inc. (pictured here)—and weekly lunchtime seminars supplement hands-on experience in the lab.

Sharing their experiences with the interns were Ronald D. Lewis, II, president of the San Diego Chapter of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE), Daniel Salomon, Scripps Research associate professor, and Amber Murray, a graduate student at the Kellogg School.

Also addressing the group were three alumni of the internship program now working at on the California campus—Safety Technician Reggie Long, Lab Assistant Mayra Estrada, and Research Assistant Stacey Moreno.
