Students Join Local Scientists at S.T.A.R.S.

Seven of our rising seniors graduated from the S.T.A.R.S. (Students and Teachers as Research Scientists) program in July after spending six weeks this summer paired with local scientists from the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, engineering, environmental science, mathematics, medicine, physics and psychology. Together, these student-researcher partners dove into research focused on science, technology, engineering and math.
