Our summer interns brought fresh energy and innovation to MERL, tackling cutting-edge research and collaborating with the lab's world-class researchers.  Beyond the lab, they explored Boston with a Red Sox game at Fenway, cruised the harbor, exchanged ideas at weekly socials, and capped it all off with a summer picnic at Kimball Farm. A big thank you to everyone who made this summer unforgettable! #MERLInternship #InnovationCulture #LifeAtMERL #MERLResearch
