I heard a rumor there's going to be some kind of party tomorrow night.

[Research Division]

Ernestine Waters is coming to visit the Station on Monday. Dr. St. Germaine, Dr. Waldinger, and Crysta are going to be playing tour guide.

She included a list of her favorite researchers at the station: Dr. Waldinger, Dr. Huff, Max Hart, Tom Hendricks, Dr. Stone, Annie Song, Dr. St. Germaine, me, Dr. Castillo, and Hera Vincent-Skovgaard (also: all the other researchers, the lab technicians, the assistants, "and everyone else that makes the dream possible!!"). If any of you have a little extra time to answer her questions I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

Right now I'm in charge of conducting the interview by default, but if anyone else who knows more about conducting interviews wants to help out or take over, I'd owe you a favor.

!!! I'm so excited that she'll be at the station; I'm happy to make time whenever :)

And I've only done a few interviews, but I'm happy to help with that, too, in whatever way I can if you need or want which you did say you wanted help so I need to not qualify this.

I don't even really have any idea what I'm supposed to ask her.

I'm sure everyone else has opinions as well, but I think focusing on her specific areas of interest is one of the most important things! Obviously her skills are important too, but since she'll be an intern a lot of this is about what she's going to get out of the experience, you know?

I'd ask her where she'd like to be in ten years but I feel like the answer is almost certainly "still in school".

Hahaha, probably!!!!

Maybe ask her like... what she might want to work on here, even in broad strokes! Is she more interested in the biological side of Liminals, or potentially the chemical/physical implications of some powers? Is she more interested in the Rifts themselves? Has she run any experiments or been in a lab environment much, and what did she enjoy the most about those? Does she know specifically what she will want to study in school? What does she think will be the most rewarding part of this internship?

She's obviously got the enthusiasm for the job, at least, so you don't need to figure that out!

This is really helpful, actually. Do you want to sit in on the interview with me?

I'm glad! And absolutely!, I'd love be happy to :)
