On June 1st, CCB kicked off the second annual High School Lab Skills Summer Research Program with “Match Day” at the Harvard Ed Portal in Allston. The afternoon highlighted the work of the six Brighton-Allston High School students enrolled in the program and provided an opportunity for CCB program staff, graduate and postdoc mentors, Ed portal staff and Brighton-Allston high school science teachers to meet and celebrate the work of this program. The high school students were handed a letter which contained their highly anticipated summer lab placement assignments. Once the matches were revealed, students connected with their mentors to share more about their hopes for the summer and to finalize details of the program start.
Students will officially join our community on July 10, 2023 for their six-week paid internship. They will participate in projects in the Balskus, Jacobsen, Betley, Mason, Ni and Xu labs. We hope you will welcome them to our community and take every opportunity to share your science journey with them.
Please save the date for our end-of summer program celebration which will be held on August 17 in the CCB Library. This event will be open to everyone. Refreshments will be served.
