I have participated in the young scholars program for the last two years. It is a tremendous opportunity for bright students to be exposed to the world of scientific discovery as it is happening. This is one of the few programs that allows a young person to see what a scientist does from day to day and promotes research as a career option. The people in my laboratory and I have gained from the experience by seeing and sharing in the excitement and energy these students process.
