Gaining laboratory experience is essential for students considering a career in research. Each year, the Biochemical Society awards Summer Vacation Studentships to support undergraduates doing just this. The grants are a stipend of up to £1600 over 6–8 weeks during the summer, with students being supervised by members of the Society. In 2014, we funded 66 undergraduates, working in laboratories across the UK. Below are accounts from Alexander Taylor and Claire Hutchison, outlining their experiences during their Summer Vacation Studentships.
