A summer's journey into science can have a lasting effect. Lakshmy Prasad, a senior at Westview High School, apprenticed last summer at the Oregon Primate Center. She worked on how brain tissues in monkeys change as the animals age. The work stirred her interest in research and taught her about a professional environment. Prasad's career goals include becoming a neurosurgeon and a medical researcher.
Science comes alive in here.
It doesn't in textbooks and courses. I am sort of mad at the school because of all the money we lack for stuff like this. I would feel deprived without this.
