[internship] Intern with companies to help clean up Hanford

Come join the fight to clean up the Hanford site in Richland, WA by interning this summer with a coalition of different organizations! These intern programs allow students to obtain real world experience in their field of study and each intern is assigned a mentor that works with the student during the entire internship. All internships are paid and salaries range with experience ($18 to $32 an hour). There is an expected 60 to 70 internships available. Read below to learn what each organization is responsible for.

[event] Art Exhibition: Particles on the Wall

Join Nick Thorp from WPSR and INND/Toxipedia for the opening reception of the latest installation of Particles on the Wall at the University of Washington in Seattle, in Odegaard Undergraduate Library.

The artist forum will begin at 7:30 in Room 220, January 6th. The exhibit will continue through March 29th.

                                 

The program provides a unique opportunity to hear from artists, poets, and scientists who have been inspired by Hanford to create a wide variety of art. From poetry readings, to discussions on the inspirations for their art and their impressions on Hanford, the panel of artists will shed a new and interesting light on the site that created the bomb dropped on Nagasaki and is now the most contaminated place in the Western Hemisphere.
