Diversity Through Mentorship CFCH Interns and the CFCH Mentorship Program

An excerpt from the 2016 Center of Folklife and Cultural Heritage (CFCH) Annual Report written by CFCH Intern Coordinator Arlene Reiniger describes the CFCH Mentorship Program. It also tells the story about a group of interns who, through this program, recently explored cultural heritage and the role it plays in identity, family, and community.

The National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) offers many great learning opportunities, including three described below. Applications are being accepted for all of these until Monday 5/15/17.

Internship Opportunity 1: StreamCode: this project brings together a group of invertebrate biologists to study the fauna of the Florida Current region of the Gulf Stream and will also study both temporary (meroplanktonic) and permanent (holoplaktonic) residents of the water column. Find out more here.

Internship Opportunity 2: Swimming Mechanics of Tomopteris Polychaetes: review high-speed video of live tomopterids and generate kinematic data that will allow modeling of their swimming mechanics. This data will allow comparisons to nereidiform polychaete locomotion and the first description of swimming propelled by parapodial paddling alone. Click here to learn more.

Internship Opportunity 3: Exploration of polynoid diversity: a study in taxonomy and scientific illustration. Interns will learn about the diversity and morphology of polynoid scale worm and learn scientific illustration skills by assisting in producing a publication that compiles everything known about the family and describing all the known, but not yet described species. Learn more here. Victory Garden
