In the Lab
By the time the interns reached the lab, they were ready to make the most of their opportunity to work on a research project under the guidance of a mentor.
"[The most important aspect of the program for me] was the one-to-one mentoring," said Nazc-a-ru Gonzalez (bottom right), who interned in the Romesberg lab with Research Associate Joerg Zimmermann. "The opportunity to do research is hard to find!" Gonzalez, a senior at La Jolla High, will attend Harvard with a Gates Millennial Scholarship in the fall.
