Parting Thoughts

"Having the opportunity to get into a lab and work along side extremely intelligent scientists showed me what future in academic science would entail."
—Lindsey White, graduating senior at Patrick Henry High School who will attend Rice University in the fall.

"[My] project was not only very fun, it was very interesting and allowed me to learn so much more about biology and biological research—things that you just couldn't learn from a textbook. It was an amazing experience."
—Matthew Poling, graduating senior at Steele Canyon High School who will attend the University of California, San Diego in the fall.

"[Because of the hands-on experience,] I feel much more confident about labs than I ever did in high school and know I'm better prepared for college."
—Maureen Alcock, graduating senior at Marian Catholic High School who will attend the University of California, Los Angeles in the fall.
