Given the opportunity to drink fifty bottles of wine or eat one tomato, which would you choose?
Scientists at the John Innes Centre have found a way to produce industrial quantities of useful natural compounds efficiently, by growing them in tomatoes.
The compounds are phenylpropanoids like Resveratrol, the compound found in wine which has been reported to extend lifespan in animal studies, and Genistein, the compound found in soybean which has been suggested to play a role in prevention of steroid-hormone related cancers, particularly breast cancer.

Who are you looking for?
The person reading this, hopefully. We’re looking for smart, fun, humble people. In general, you need to be enrolled in college and have completed three semesters of coursework. But maybe you took your own path—tell us about it!
What’s the internship?
There’s a bunch. Go here for the full list: Engineering, Marketing, Data science, Business, Design, etc. If you don’t see something for you, keep checking. We’ll be adding more over the next couple months. And yeah they’re all paid—it’s serious work.
Where is it?
Mostly New York, the city of dreams. But also LA, the city of Angelenos.
When?
At least eight weeks. June-ish to August-ish—whatever your school schedule allows.
Why?
Seems like a weird question to ask.
How do I apply?
Go here 👈 Find an internship. Click apply. You’ll need a resume and cover letter so now would be a good time to meet your school’s career counselor.
<3 See you here!

A new device powered by a thermal solar reactor could make enough oxygen and water for six to eight astronauts on the Moon.
The device—created by Aerospace Engineer Thorsten Denk— is ideal for the conditions of the Moon.

Centaurus A or NGC 5128 is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus.
The center of the galaxy contains a supermassive black hole with a mass equivalent to 55 million solar masses, which ejects a relativistic jet that is responsible for emissions in the X-ray and radio wavelengths. By taking radio observations of the jet separated by a decade, astronomers have determined that the inner parts of the jet are moving at about half of the speed of light. X-rays are produced farther out as the jet collides with surrounding gases resulting in the creation of highly energetic particles. The X-ray jets of Centaurus A are thousands of light-years long, while the radio jets are over a million light-years long
