| | Alliance Interns Reflect on their Time at IICD |
|
|
| Each summer, the Alliance Program brings students from École Polytechnique to Columbia University for immersive research experiences. As the 2026 cohort concludes their time at IICD, five interns reflect on the projects they tackled, the lessons they learned, and what's next in their scientific journeys. |
