"This summer I worked with Carla Aureliano, a Ph.D. student at Institut für Umweltforschung (the Institute for Environmental Research)
at the University of Dortmund in western Germany. Specifically, I worked with Carla in the field of organic chemistry on
hierarchically imprinted mesoporous polymer beads containing surface confined binding sites for amyloid peptides. I was excited about the internship as well as the prospect to learn German language and culture for three months this summer. This internship was possible thanks to the "impressive letter of reference"
