About this listen

What happens when you take high schoolers and immerse them in a professional research environment for over a month? You get the Summer Science Program (SSP). In this episode, we explore this highly selective, 39-day residential program known for its "first-principles approach" to learning.

We discuss why SSP is considered a "transformative experience" that simulates professional science rather than just teaching a class.

Tune in to hear about:

  • The Tracks: Opportunities to conduct complete research projects in astrophysics, biochemistry, or genomics.

  • The Method: How students build knowledge from fundamental concepts to real-world data application.

  • The Network: Access to a legendary alumni network.
