What a wonderful summer we had with 27 participants in our Stowers Summer Scholars program out of 221 applicants. Scholars hailed from 15 states and 5 countries, representing 24 schools. These young researchers were energetic, motivated, and accomplished so much. In addition, they are the stars of our Scholars video!
