    Research Summer
AI Thread Summary
Graduating seniors are seeking meaningful summer opportunities before entering graduate school, with a focus on internships or programs like the SULI program by the Department of Energy. There is a desire to gain international experience, building on previous research experiences, such as a summer at CERN. Suggestions include exploring early grad school options, which may allow for lab work or collaboration with professors prior to the semester. The emphasis is on finding valuable experiences that enhance academic and professional development.

Hi everybody:

I'll be graduating this year but don't want to just blow my summer away. I want to do something useful (get an internship, peace corp or something like that). I found the SULI program by DOE that accepts graduating seniors. What about other opportunities? I am willing to try something different before going into grad school (preferably traveling to another country :D)... I went to CERN last summer and that was awesome. It would be great if I can find something similar.

I have a solid record in academics with 3 summer+ research experiences.

Thanks for the help.

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
