This summer, our MIT DC Summer Interns had the opportunity to speak with Government Accountability Office (GAO) staff and visit their office.
The panelists spoke about their wide range of experiences working at GAO, particularly at the intersection of science, technology, and engineering.
Students were able to learn about the work behind their reports, spanning different fields from agriculture and economics to biotechnology and vaccines.
The session ended with a Q&A, where students received helpful advice about applying to graduate school, working in D.C., and tackling the transition from college to work.
The event was arranged with the help of Richard Hung, an assistant director in the Science, Technology Assessment, and Analytics team at the GAO.
