Young Scientists Academy Research Symposium

Young Scientists Academy Research Symposium

Science Education Center Friday July 19, 2024

In this six-week YSA program, academically motivated rising seniors conduct research under the guidance of Dr. Catrena Lisse and undergraduate chemistry major mentors. The students tackle an individual research project and acquire valuable technical and analytical skills, culminating in data analysis and a YSA poster symposium. In some cases, YSA interns submit their work to national science conferences like the annual American Chemical Society's National Conference.

Throughout the six weeks of the program, students participate in weekly workshops with the YSA Director who provides insight into the scientific process, research ethics, how to read a research paper, how to make a poster, and how to network in the science and engineering fields. There are also sessions on college admission strategies and programs.

The Young Scientists Academy program Symposium is the presentations of the work learned, researched and done by the YSA student Interns on their individual research projects during the six week program during this summer.
