To our colleagues at UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, this is wonderful work! It is building pipelines for our future, and more importantly helping the youths in our community.
Summer is for STEM! We were delighted to welcome more than 100 elementary, middle and high school students as part of our summer programs that aim to spark an interest in STEM and help students further their career goals. Our visitors included: ➡ About 25 elementary and middle school students who joined us for the “A Dose of Pharmacreations" course led by pharmacy and medical students as part of the Sally Ride Science Academy. Students learned about the vital roles of pharmacists and how pharmacists and physicians collaborate to care for patients through hands-on activities such as custom medicine making and therapeutic decision-making and more. ➡ More than 60 middle and high school students who are members of groups underrepresented in STEM as part of our Research Methodology Training Laboratory (RMTL) program. Designed to inspire low- and moderate-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students to pursue careers in the biomedical and health sciences, students participated in hands-on labs experiments using state-of-the art equipment, heard from guest speakers who have similar backgrounds, learned how to apply to college, toured our campus and more. The program is led by former participant and current faculty member Eduardo Fricovsky. Learn more at RMTLacademy.org. ➡ Nearly a dozen high school and undergraduate students from Mexico as part of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering’s ENLACE program. A cohort of college students gained hands-on experience using AI to visually compare proteins and learned how to purify and study enzymes in the lab of Adrian Jinich, and several high school students very carefully studied brain-eating and eye-infecting amoebas and participated in hands-on drug discovery experiments using natural products in the lab of Anjan Debnath. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gXJYr34U. ➡ Twenty high school students from Mater Dei High School in Chula Vista participated in a unique program that blends outdoor fieldwork with hands-on laboratory experience, called the Californian Shaman program. The program has increased students’ scientific self-efficacy and self-identification as a scientist—and we are delighted that a former program participant, Sophia Nguyen, will join our pharmacy school this year as a P1! Learn more at calshaman.ucsd.edu ➡ Three high school students from Mater Dei High School in Chula Vista were selected for summer internships at our school thanks to generous support from the Skaggs Foundation. The students worked in the labs of Irina Kufareva and Dionicio Siegel and their work will be presented at STEAM Poster Night at Mater Dei High School in the fall. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for these students and we’re already looking forward to next summer!
