From Childhood Museum Visits to Cross-Country Research: Fulfilling a Science Dream
This year has been a particularly memorable one for Hannah Menghis, who spent the spring before her freshman year at Brown University doing biological research at Stanford University. Menghis was no stranger to the research lab, having interned the past 3 years for ABE through the Carnegie Academy for Science Education (CASE) in Washington, DC.
Raul Lazaro: From Humble Beginnings to a Biotech Lab
Some mornings, Raul Lazaro wakes up and cannot even believe where he is. Working in a lab at Amgen on preclinical studies is not somewhere he ever imagined he would be. Lazaro grew up in Ventura, CA, where his parents worked as strawberry pickers as part of the Bracero Program, which allowed migrant workers from Mexico to work in the United States.
