Anthropology in the summertime!

Yes you can get paid to study anthro!  The National Science Foundation funds Research Experience for Undergraduate sites at universities around the country.  These are 7-10 week research/training programs that pay undergraduates to come and study/do research.  I found two NSF-REU sites in anthropology running this upcoming summer and wanted to make sure that Penn undergrads studying anthropology were informed about these great opportunities.
