Research Shadowing Program
The Research Shadowing Program is an observational program allowing college students and high school students sixteen years of age or older to shadow a scientist during part of their routine day in one of our research labs.  After shadowing within our research environment, students should develop an appreciation for some of the qualities required for a career as a research scientist.
