Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around seeking remote internships in cosmology, particularly from the perspective of an electronics engineer aiming to enhance their understanding and skills for future graduate studies in the field.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses a desire to find remote internships in cosmology to improve their qualifications for graduate studies.
- Another participant questions the educational background of the original poster, suggesting that most internships require candidates to be in advanced years of a physics degree.
- A later reply asks whether the internships being sought are paid or unpaid.
- Another participant mentions having only taken a first-year physics course in engineering, questioning if that is sufficient for internship eligibility.
- One participant responds negatively to the previous query about the sufficiency of a first-year physics course for internship opportunities.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the eligibility criteria for internships, with differing views on the importance of formal education in physics.
Contextual Notes
The discussion highlights the potential limitations of educational background in securing internships, as well as the ambiguity regarding the nature of the internships (paid vs unpaid).
