The program is structured really well. I had never been an associate leading an entire research group before, so I was nervous but tasks were manageable and support/guidance was always available. I really appreciate the chance to learn new skills like R programming or have opportunities to apply developing ones like Excel. The only note I would add is that I feel that the R programming academy should go more in depth about coding basics like what certain commands mean or do. It’s promoted to be for beginners, which is true, but it should be more than copying the lines of codes to produce the expected results.

ThinkNeuro gave me internship and research experience in the field of medical education without having to sacrifice other commitments or extracurricular. The associates and leaders in charge were clear with communication and had several videos prepared that led students through the course step by step. I would like to participate in this internship again. Specifically, my topic was how successful the use of gamma radiation affect tau and amyloid protein to fight Alzheimer's. Through this internship I gained a lot of first hand experience on what it's like to work on a research team. I was also able to study more rigorous and detailed subjects through this internship. I think that it would be beneficial to keep track of individual progress and dismiss those that are not contributing to the project.

I am currently a summer intern researching about Neurodegenerative Diseases. I enjoyed this experience because it allowed me to gain research skills and collaborate with other individuals. The tasks that we were given were simple and easy to manage as someone who has never conducted research before. Also, my associates were very helpful in guiding our research process and checking up on everyone. I would love to continue this research internship in the fall.

ThinkNeuro was a great opportunity, and I’m really glad I got the chance to be a part of it. My partners were very supportive, and my associate was so helpful and always easy to contact.

This internship gave me great research experience and allowed me to experience neurology in high school! I would highly recommend this program for those interested in pursuing neurology or looking for experience researching. While the organization could be better, the overall experience is very nice!

The ThinkNeuro internship has allowed me to expand my knowledge in the field of neuroscience and research. More specifically, in my cohort group, we delved into neuropharmacology, researching how gene therapy and antidepressants can help patients battling mental health illnesses. I learned and built many valuable skills, from coding through R-Programming to bibliometrics. Overall, I would do this internship again!

At ThinkNeuro, I had the honor of participating as a co-associate alongside a hard-working and active associate. I loved how to program was open to anyone regardless of experience since this was my first internship and allowed me to gain experience. I also enjoyed learning new R-programming skills through the lessons as well as having many resources to make the research process clear and simple.

I had the opportunity to partake in the Summer 2025 ThinkNeuro Research Internship Cohort! I worked on a neuropharmacological issue — that focuses on the psychodynamic factors of adverse PD-DDS behaviors — alongside many other talented individuals. It was a valuable experience for me, I was able to gain valuable knowledge of R and its bibliometric packages through asynchronous videos. This internship also enhanced my soft skills as I was able to work on my academic writing and critical analysis skills under the mentorship of an undergraduate student. ThinkNeuro is a great experience for those who have no prior research experience, and are looking for an experience that can open them to new opportunities! I would love to participate in this program again, and research a new topic.
