"I had the pleasure of being an attendee of the Sanford-Burnham Institute for Medical Research special program for careers in the life science industry at Lake Nona. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity. The experience was incredible in that it allowed me to view and learn about possibilities for a future in science fields for today’s young learners – my students! The panel of experts in the fields of medicine and research guided us in understanding how we are preparing today’s students to become tomorrow’s specialists and experts in science, medicine, technology and research.
