This summer, two high school research interns as part of the Youth Science Fellowship Program (YSFP) learned flow cytometry and computational analysis in the Nicholas Lab. Lauren Gao mentored by Zena Del Mundo and Kartik Shivastava mentored by Dr. Gabriela Pacheco Sanchez learned a lot as part of the YSFP program and we hope to see them persist in STEM education as they continue thier academic careers.
