In this #PREPPED episode, Naka is joined by the 'Godmother of Science Research,' Dr. Serena McCalla (Founder of the iResearch Institute, iResearch Academy, President of the New York State Science and Engineering Fair, Jericho High School Science Research Coordinator, and star of the Emmy-award winning National Geographic Documentary Science Fair) to discuss a fantastic extracurricular opportunity: science research.
Science research uses the scientific method to explore a question that may not have an answer yet and is ideal for students and thinkers who are naturally curious and innovative. Students can investigate a wide array of disciplines from classical areas such as chemistry and biology to newer ones such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
While many students can take advantage of the science research program within their schools, Naka and Dr. McCalla discuss how students can get involved in other ways, such as mentorship provided by iResearch.
Additionally, they explain tips on managing their time in such a rigorous program, and how impressive awards and prizes can be won through intense competitions such as Regeneron and ISEF. Tune in to explore an extraordinary opportunity for scientifically-driven students to meet other like-minded scholars and contribute to humanity’s most pressing scientific challenges!
