Neuroscience VIP course strengthens STEM identity, boosts student success A study led by the University of Arizona finds that immersive, multi-semester undergraduate research experiences can significantly enhance student confidence, scientific identity, and career readiness...

🧠🧪👩‍🔬In the world of “why bother getting a college degree” or “can’t I just ask AI to do my homework,” here is a powerful rebuttal. Our educational research shows that students get huge benefits from doing long-term hands-on research in teams. science.arizona.edu/news/neurosc...
