Celebrating Young Scientists
William Peelen
“ Keep pursuing your interests. You can do this through entering competitions like I did, trying to get an internship, or something else entirely. No matter what, try to find ways to be involved and to continue exploring your curiosity.”
Adeline Clifford
“I was first interested in genetics after learning about inherited traits in biology freshman year. I loved learning about Punnett Squares and how genotypes result in different phenotypes. Research was a way for me to explore this interest deeper and do my own work.”
Landra Ream
“I think genetics is a really cool field of study because we already know a lot about genetics yet what has been explored is only a small fraction of what exists. Genetics provides important information that can be used for a multitude of different purposes, such as understanding what medical conditions someone might develop or what treatments for cancers would be the best for a certain patient. There is always room for new discoveries in the field of genetics, which is what I find really amazing about it.”
