"I didn't know if I could actually publish a paper when I first joined. It's amazing to see how this has turned out. I loved working with Dr. Malkin. He was more than a mentor to me. It's beyond imaginable to be able to work with him and get support from him. I want to have that same community feeling in my Uni as I have here. Everyone has been incredibly supportive. There is so much work behind the scene"

"I had a great time completing the program and it allowed me to gain research experience as soon as in high school. Research Club taught me how to search for and analyze scientific information. I am glad I got to go through this experience together with my team since it enriched my collaboration skills."
