You’ll be given a chance to network with professionals in the fields of your choice, whether it be well-accomplished scientists or local healthcare workers. Google Classroom code: 5ullbb4. Our next in-person meeting is on Monday, December 19th after school from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Room 209. Please come prepared with a research topic or a job shadowing interest and an idea on how to pursue it. If you plan to write a research paper and are able to start drafting it, that is great. If you are already in the works of writing a research paper, please feel free to stop by and workshop your writing.
