Below is some feedback from interns about their experiences at LBS

"It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I will leave with the biological station in my mind and in my heart."

"It is an experience that should be offered to everyone starting a career in science. It's the best approach to what working in research actually is. Personally, it has been one of the most enriching experiences, helping to decide what kind of career I'd like to follow, and growing as a person."

"It was a great and interesting time and I'm really glad that I came here. I learned a lot of new things, especially in the ecology topics"

"I was able to build my own research project, and it helped me realize how hard it is to have a robust experiment in the field. I enjoyed a lot being so close to the nature and to be able to study it. Living with PhD students also helped me to figure out what a PhD work is like. I would like to thank-you a lot for my time here, where I really felt good"

"The last three months made me forget about everything else except for this place. I have had a really nice time at Lammi during and after work. It is such a nice place and I am considering coming back to Finland and Lammi in the near future!"

"One of the my greatest experiences of a lifetime where I did not only learn a lot about science but also about myself. Thanks a lot!"

"I had an amazing time. I came here in a place with amazing people, nice work a beautiful environment and so much more! It has helped me to evolve and grow a lot."

"I had an amazing time during the three months and learnt a lot. Since I didn't have any experience in labwork. It's a shame I need to go home."

"The internship gave me an insight in research work and helped a lot for future projects. Apart from the work it was a unique experience to stay at the station in this wonderful surroundings."

"A great and fun learning experience, that helped in finding a career to pursue. The fact that there are a lot of different nationalities makes the internship even more enjoyable!"

"It was an enriching experience at all levels. I was autonomous and the station allowed me to conduct my internship in the best conditions. I'm proud of the work I've done here. I even improved my English level. I hope to have the opportunity to continue in ecology and find a fulfilling job."

"Being here gave me self-confidence, self-knowledge and improved me not only as a scientist, but also as a resolute person."

"It was a great experience, on a scientific level and for my personal experience. It was really intense, I got to test out my limits, but I would do it again anytime."

"The program was really enriching. I was able to think just by myself, asked different researchers who have been very available for all the questions. Thank-you for all that we did!"

"It was a very good experience to improve my skill in ecology, fieldwork and a little bit in English. It was an opportunity to discover a new country and the LBS where people were very nice."

"It has been a very important experience for me to be here. I have become more independent in research and attained skills which I would never have gotten on just any course."

"Learned to put in practice my theoretical knowledge to a more practical field and to real issues. Meet researchers and understand what motivates them to do research..."

"It has been a wonderful time with great people and good accommodations. I like the workflow, nature and facilities. It was an honor to be working here. Hope to come back next year. Kiitos!"
