The Summer Scholars Program emphasizes the development of scientific communication and critical thinking skills in addition to laboratory skills. Throughout the summer, students participating in the program will be guided through writing assignments that simulate research explanations scientists often must provide other scientists, financial supporters, or the general public. The communication training will culminate with presentations of their work to peers, mentors, and other scientists. Other program highlights include a flexible start date and eligibility for international students (via CPT) and graduating seniors to participate.
