Fond Farewell

"I had an incredible time and learned so much. This experience has reinforced my desire to pursue a major in science and have a career in research."
—Kate Barker, Mission Hills High School

 "I thought I wanted to be a doctor but I learned I could get a Ph.D. and an M.D. and see patients and do research at the same time.  I had so much fun. This was a summer I will never forget."
—Miranda Strartton, San Diego Lutheran High School

"This program has shown me things I hadn't expected to see until well into college. Best of all, I didn't just learn about biology, I was able to contribute to the research."
—Jared Myers, Rancho Buena Vista High School
