You should email the program coordinator at your lab to hear more about the project. Or you could email the supervisor directly. Also just plain googling your advisor will probably give you a pretty clear idea of what their research is about.

Congrats! Fermi is an AMAZING lab!

Congrats on PPPL! Did you get your project assigned? I just got a project number and no other information. I just emailed the contact person about that. I'm definitely going to talk to the professor I currently do research to see what he thinks. But I am almost 100% sure I'll accept the offer...

Thanks guys! I am probably going to accept, as I have no other offers at the moment. My question is, is there more value in a regular REU over a DOE Lab? This lab is basically on Princeton's campus and administered by the university (interns even stay in dorms there), but I don't know if I'll...

Just heard back-- I got into Princeton Plasma Physics Lab!

Any updates anyone? I'm getting so anxious D:

I know it doesn't make a difference at all, I'm just anxious. I'm probably going to apply to graduate school in the fall so I want to know where I'll stand at the end of the summer.

The DoE reviews applications first, and then gives the best applications to each site and that's when they decide if you're in. Or so I thought, maybe I'm wrong.

Does anyone know if the application status is updated if they pass your application along to the sites? Or does it remain as "pending review"? I can't help but get so anxious about this

That's the date I've been seeing pop up around the internet, so I guess I'll have to wait for two weeks :( Mine says the same thing! I just want them to review it already!

I applied to the DoE Summer Undergraduate Laboratory Internships for this summer. I chose PPPL as my first choice and LLNL as my second. Has anyone heard back from any lab yet? When should I expect to hear back? Thanks!

Probably would want to stay below 1500.

I will have to buy my own computer. I have computers in the labs I work in, but I like being able to do work from home, or while visiting my parents. Physics doesn't stop. It happens on both. But, as a personal preference I want to be able to run it on my computer as well. I find it easier to...

Hello, I'm a physics student (currently a senior in college, planning on going to graduate school for a Ph.D.). My current laptop is encountering major problems, mostly small things that make it not worth investing more money into the laptop, given that it's already old. I currently do...
