<p>I'm new and this is my 2nd post. I would appreciate any help. ty.</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>if you live on long island, i suggest trying the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Partners for the Future Program. I didn't make the final cut (it's pretty competitive), but you work with the best scientists in the biological circle at the "best biology lab in the world" (according to one of the scientists who interviewed me...some crazy german lady who was obsessed with her fruit flies). However, the program is during the school year and you have to be able to drive there...i think that's what killed my chances, but whatever. </p>
<p>Otherwise, I would say go for the Stony Brook camp...haven't heard too much about it, but hey, stony brook is a great science school.</p>
<p>I agree with the_nightboy. Based on the title alone, the came seems really interesting.</p>
<p>it's mainly a summer program for freshman
Here's a description:</p>
<p>A four week residential camp for students interested in doing research in biotechnology </p>
<p>Dates: July 11 - August 5, 2005<br>
Application Deadline: April 1, 2005
Cost: $1975 including room & board fees
Eligibility: Students must have completed ninth grade and completed Biology in order to apply </p>
<p>Details<br>
Housing: The students will live in dormitories on the Stony Brook campus from Sunday through Friday; staff are available at all times. Students are dismissed Friday afternoons for the weekend; there will be no housing available on the weekends </p>
<p>Meals: The students will be given a meal allowance $75 per week. They will be able to eat at any of the cafeterias on campus </p>
<p>Chaperones: Staff members will be living with the students in the dormitories. Students will be escorted at all times </p>
<p>Closing Reception: On Friday, August 5, the students will present their research projects. Parents will be invited to attend this reception </p>
<p>Program<br>
This summer laboratory program is designed to teach motivated high school students the concepts and techniques commonly used in modern biotechnology, and provide them an opportunity to explore areas of interest in an independent research project. A background in biology is required and chemistry is suggested.</p>
<p>Topics: Students will explore topics in three general areas of science: microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. Activities will include: growth, isolation and characterization of microbes, protein chemistry, chromatography, enzymology, regulation of gene expression, DNA isolation analysis, amplification (PCR) and genetic modification using standard laboratory model organisms (bacteria, yeast, Dictyostelium, etc.)</p>
<p>Independent Laboratory Project: In the first week and a half, students will learn basic laboratory techniques, experimental design, data collection and analysis. During this period students will also use library and internet resources to research an area of interest. In the following two and a half weeks, students design, complete and present their own experimental project.</p>
<p>Seminars: During their stay, students are afforded the opportunity to learn about areas of scientific research from the Stony Brook faculty. </p>
<p>Laboratory Tours: To explore a vast range of scientific topics, students tour the Life Sciences Greenhouse, University Hospital, and other areas on campus</p>
<p>you should also try rockefellers science outreach program. It is free and also looks good on your app.</p>
<p>oooooooo rockefellers actually great..and i believe u get a stipend..</p>
<p>i'm just turned 15 this christmas eve, and the rockefeller program states one needs to be 16 years old before the program starts in the summer. what should i do?</p>
<p>when I went you had to be 16 to work in the labs. I think at most programs you have to be this age to work in labs. Sad but true.</p>
