Concerned Scientists

I am up in the beautiful, and freezing cold, state of Maine celebrating my Dad's birthday. In fact, at this morning I am at a little bookstore with free wireless (whatever happened to this concept in Maryland (my home state) - now you have to pay for wireless at the Barnes and Nobles there). Anyways, do not fear, I have found a little internship opportunity for you all with the Union of Concerned Scientists. In their own words. . .

"The Union of Concerned Scientists is a nonprofit partnership of scientists and citizens combining rigorous scientific analysis, innovative policy development, and effective citizen advocacy to achieve practical environmental solutions.

Established in 1969, we seek to ensure that all people have clean air, energy, and transportation, as well as food that is produced in a safe and sustainable manner. We strive for a future that is free from the threats of global warming and nuclear war, and a planet that supports a rich diversity of life. Sound science guides our efforts to secure changes in government policy, corporate practices, and consumer choices that will protect and improve the health of our environment globally, nationally, and in communities throughout the United States. In short, UCS seeks a great change in humanity's stewardship of the earth."

Sounds like something you might be interested in? I couldn't find any information on compensation, a key concern. However, check out the website below for internship and job opportunities.
