I enjoyed learning the R programming skills that can be used much past the research we did in this instance. The internship is also sectioned out very well allowing time for tasks and scheduling.

I really enjoyed the internship! It was well organized and extremely engaging and fun’. I truly learned a lot from this internship and would highly recommend it to everyone

This was my first ever experience doing research with a team outside of a classroom. I learned a lot on how to collaborate and think which I'm pleasantly sure will be of great use in my future as a potential doctor.

Participating in the ThinkNeuro program was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my life, and one I would definitely do again. What I liked most about the program was the hands-on experience with R programming, as well as the opportunity to complete our own research project alongside students who were passionate about neuroscience and mentors who were always willing to help us and answer our questions. I also really enjoyed learning more about R programming through the courses and recorded classes. My research topic was neurodegenerative diseases, which allowed me to explore various diseases in more depth, specifically Huntington's disease in my case. Without a doubt, this program develops my analytical and teamwork skills and provides a wealth of learning.

I was with the summer bibliometrics cohort and this was my first time having any experience with not only coding/r-programming, but research as a whole, and I found it to be extremely beginner friendly. Some parts were tricky and took a while to figure out, but I think that future videos which go into a tiny bit more detail would be perfect. I was a research associate and even having never been a bibliometrics intern, I still found all the material accessible and was comprehensive and easy to break down and share with my team of interns. My group’s topic was the potential impact of oral medications meant to treat Type 2 diabetes on reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s. I 100% recommend interning with ThinkNeuro to anyone and everyone who’s interested, it’s an experience you’ll never forget!

I became a research associate for ThinkNeuro’s summer 2025 bibliometrics analysis cohort, after previously serving as a research intern in their Spring 2025 cohort. I was nervous at first to lead a team of interns, as it was my first time fully being in charge of a project, however the project managers and project leads all conveyed information well in a timely manner, answered my questions, and overall made it a comfortable environment where I could bring up any concerns. There were plenty of resources that were shared to facilitate us in doing research and developing our research poster. I led a research project in the Healthcare Access and Disparities topic, focusing on mental health interventions for low-income adolescent youth. I developed many valuable skills such as project management, leadership, communication, time management, organization, and critical thinking due to this internship. Although I had some inactive interns, most of my interns were diligent, hardworking, and produced quality work on time every single week. If you are interested in becoming an intern for ThinkNeuro, I highly recommend it, especially if you have no prior research experience! All of my interns had a chance to create meaningful figures using Excel and R, analyze multiple research studies, write a section for a graduate level abstract, and a section for the final poster. Being an intern will bring multiple opportunities for you to develop critical thinking skills in research and writing which is very important! I also highly recommend becoming an associate as well since it provides you an opportunity to mentor a group of interns, lead your own research project, and develop important skills that will be very beneficial in other leadership opportunities! I would definitely do this internship again! Thank you to ThinkNeuro for providing me with this experience and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!

I was a summer intern at ThinkNeuro, and the experience was amazing. The first few weeks you learn R Programming and Bibliometrics, and by completing the program, you get certified for R Programming. There are daily office hours, for questions, and everybody is extremely helpful. The later portion of the internship is spent creating a research paper and poster about a chosen topic. This was my favorite part! Working with a team, you get to collaborate and do in-depth research about a topic that has to do with the brain. My research topic was centered around neuropharmacology. Overall, my experience was wonderful, and I plan on participating again!

ThinkNeuro was an amazing first exposure to bibliometric research. Their R-programming academy at the start of the internship was comprehensive and they provided ample support to those of us who weren't previously well-versed in coding. All of their associates were very responsive and helpful when approached with questions or uncertainties. In addition, I found my research project to be a great exercise in research writing and data modeling, as well as being on a topic I personally find very engaging. The skills I've taken from ThinkNeuro have prepared me well to take on more research projects in the future.
