<p>1. Do&nbsp;things such as bioinformatics, biology experiments, genomics&nbsp;really interest you and have priority&nbsp;in your life?</p>

<p>2. Do you really have a passion for this research so&nbsp;you can apply the internship to KOGIC?</p>

<p>&nbsp; ( If not, do you want the internship because you have an alterior motivation such as military service exemption and certificate?</p>

<p>3. Do you really know how to work in a team&nbsp;and is it truly good and fun to do the teamwork in a science/ technology/ organization, sharing your vision with others?</p>

<p>4. Do you make decisions and judgement logically or out of emotional whims?</p>

<p>3. Have the ability to recognize the problems first.</p>

<p>4. When you are aware of the problem, think freely about all possible ways to solve it and find solutions.</p>

<p>5. Communicate (asking, questioning)&nbsp;as much as possible and solve the problems with teamwork.</p>

<p>6. Always report on your work (to explain&nbsp;and share your work.&nbsp;At least once a weak for lab meeting time)</p>

<p>7. When the internship is done, systemize your outputs for other people to take over&nbsp;all things you did to continue the project.</p>

<p><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; (At the end of the internship period, present your work&nbsp;during the internship period)</strong></p>

<p>8. Share your research notes and status using wiki page,&nbsp;PPT, slack etc.</p>

<p>9. Strive to solve problems seriously and participate actively&nbsp;during presentations and meetings.</p>

<p>&nbsp; 9.1. The presentation should focus on achieving the goal of the work for the project and others.</p>
