In 2020, our first cohort of students went into pandemic mode and conducted virtual research with mentors from UC Davis. We are so very proud of their tenacity and courage in pursuing this very non-traditional program. Aaaand….we did a remote program again in 2021.
2022 news flash: we had students in Davis for eight weeks of good ol’ face-to-face wet lab research, and it was marvelous.
