Upcoming Medical/Science Explorations - Grade 9


As I will announce in tomorrow's Biology classes, a number of opportunities are now available for Gateway ninth-graders to explore their interests in medicine and biomedical science.

First, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has invited us to send a small number of ninth-grade students to participate in their Job Shadow Day on January 30. Applications will be distributed to interested students tomorrow, and they will be due back to Dr. Wu by the end of Friday, January 23.

Secondly, we will be nominating students to participate in Harvard Medical School's Mentoring for Science 9 program, which meets afterschool on Wednesdays during the spring. Students will be asked to express their interest in this program during Biology class tomorrow, and applications will be due to HMS on Tuesday, January 27.

Finally, all ninth-grade students are invited to enter Harvard Medical School's Reflection in Action contest, in which students explore medical/health themes through original artistic works. Students who submit winning entries will be invited to participate in a daylong symposium at Harvard Medical School in April. Interested students are invited to meet with Dr. Wu tomorrow afterschool, in Mrs. Shields' room.
