Daily Life The internship began with an onboarding session that introduced me to my main supervisor, and activated my email and slack accounts. The first week there were many virtual meetings with other interns, and company employees to get to know people. Days were 9am-5pm, and I ensured that I went outside for a walk during the day to manage my mental health and productivity. Lasting Impressions This internship was a great experience overall, that allowed me a fascinating insight into the biotech industry from the perspective of a start-up. It was also a refreshing break from my DPhil research, and has helped motivate my academic work.
ARTS AND BUSINESS COLLEGE LONDON Sophie Rogers, Worcester College, BA Literae Humaniores, Final year undergraduate, Worcester College, A mixture of in-person and remote working Work Projects Throughout my internship with the Arts and Business College of London, I carried out many different tasks, utilising different skillsets. At the beginning of my internship, I was tasked with researching, creating and recording two 10-episode podcast series, both focussed on the British Museum and the pieces within it. These podcast series are to be an additional learning resource for those studying English at the college, and for those who want to learn more about the culture and museum scene of London. Alongside these recordings, I produced transcripts of each episode, an overview for each series, and on my final day of the internship, gave a 45-minute lecture on one of my episodes, to help the students work through the material. The process was thoroughly rewarding, and I was given complete freedom to write the podcasts. I also had the opportunity to visit the British Museum to take photos to accompany my podcasts. Beyond this content creation, I was also involved in the marketing for the college, attending the weekly marketing calls and keeping up to date with the other employees.
