Young scientists do summer research

PRISE fellows lunch with President Faust

August 23, 2007

During this short hot summer, approximately 120 undergraduate scientists spent more time on the laboratory bench than at the local beach. These fledgling biologists, chemists, and engineers were participating fellows in the Harvard College Program for Research in Science and Engineering (PRISE), a project that came out of the 2005 report of the President’s Task Force on Science and Engineering headed by Barbara J. Grosz, interim dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Higgins Professor of Natural Sciences in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
