Lev Sandler on how the ӳý Summer Scholars Program helped connect him with scientific mentors
Lev Sandler is graduating from Harvard University and will begin medical school in the fall at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He attended the ӳý Summer Scholars Program (BSSP) in 2018 and says the program helped him make important connections in the lab.
“BSSP really provides all these high schoolers, maybe who have never had a scientific experience like this, with such incredible mentors who can totally transform their experience with science. Having a great mentor really makes you passionate about what you're learning and passionate about science as a whole.”
BSSP invites highly motivated high school students with a keen interest in science to spend six weeks at ӳý under the mentorship of ӳý scientists to conduct original, cutting-edge research.
