Introduction and Summer internship advice

Sally

Hi,

I am the proud mother of a fantastic son who is studying theoretical physics in his second year at university. He needs to do a Summer internship, not necessarily specifically in theoretical physics, but in a related area. Any advice on companies which value the unique talents and strengths of people of the spectrum would be hugely helpful - thank you all and a Happy New Year.
