Internships aren't the only way LPI builds tomorrow's planetary scientists. ENComPSS workshops and postdoc positions — many jointly supervised with NASA — do the same at every career stage. Which career stage do you think needs more support right now? #PlanetaryScience #LPI #USRA

LPI's Summer Internship Program has the next generation of planetary scientists in the building -- working alongside NASA-affiliated researchers on real research questions. Would you have wanted a summer like this? #STEM #LPI #ArtemisGeneration

What's the most surprising planetary science discovery you've heard about lately? New findings like that debut every year at LPSC, the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference — scientists from 37+ countries, 50+ years running. #LPSC #USRA #PlanetaryScience

For 50 years, LPI's Summer Internship Program has trained the scientists, engineers and explorers of tomorrow. Yesterday, approximately 70 interns, alumni and mentors marked that milestone in Houston. Here's to the next 50 years of discovery.
