Leadership Initiatives welcomed 84 enthusiastic interns to Georgetown University for the Advanced Medical Neuroscience Internship. Among them was Lucas Maldonado, who traveled from Egypt driven by his interest in Neuromodulation and Developmental Psychology, aiming to become a Neurosurgeon.
The interns checked in and met their roommates, quickly forming connections over shared interests and the excitement for the week ahead. The atmosphere was one of anticipation as they settled into their new environment.
After settling in, the interns received their schedules, which featured sessions with notable doctors who flew in specifically to work with them. Some of these distinguished professionals include Dr. Michael Okun, co-founder and co-director of the internationally-renowned Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases, Dr. William Casebeer, Director of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Riverside Research, and Dr. Diane DiEuliis, a Research Fellow at the National Defense University. Interns also met Dr. Rachel Wurzman, a neuroscientist and neuroethicist who joined the Dana Foundation in 2022 as a Neuroscience & Society Fellow. Dr. Wurzman will be staying in the dorms all week to ensure easy access for interns and to assist with their research proposals.
The interns also had the chance to explore Washington, D.C., getting to know each other as they walked around the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in the National Mall. These outings provided a perfect opportunity for bonding over a shared interest in Neuroscience.
