>tfw accepted an internship to work on fusion and plasma physics at a tokamak this summer
Feels good to have my hard work pay off, and I'm happy that I'll get to work on a project that will pave a better future for humanity.
Anyone else get a cool position for this summer?

I'm filling a position in your sister
Lucky
I'm stuck with doing some AI business with drones which I don't know will be used to bomb the hell out of Syria or not son. FML.
I'm sorry mate. Hopefully having that position on your resume will open better doors for you in the future
Good job, OP.
why does everyone haev to come here and brag about every cool thing that happens
im on the verge of killing myself
I'm really interested in going that route. Any suggestions on how to boost my CV for it? Did you do any research or projects relating to plasma physics before you applied for the internship?
Currently have an internship working for a project under Boeing, it's really exciting. As much fun as it is, sometimes it's just dirt work that they don't want to do. (Trash, coffee, errands)
I graduated a while ago, but the coolest summer job I had was at a cancer research center. I lost my virginity by using that as a pickup line.
The biochemists were working with a process called fluorescent in-situ hybridization. It separates the DNA strands then bonds colored markers to them. A cell with two of each marker is normal; one with a strange number is a mutant. A cluster of mutants is a pre-tumor. Finding this manually takes forever. It was a non-profit agency so they had to hire a minimum wage student to write image analysis algorithms. It was tricky stuff. Detecting the dots is easy, but then you've got do accurately define the borders of each cell and those come in different sizes and shapes, clumped together, out of focus, surrounded by air bubbles, etc.
The project has saved thousands of lives by getting people into cancer treatment early. Wasn't expecting that when I went into computer engineering.
