Further reading about the NIMR Summer School for Research
15 August 2008
Michael Sargent is the organiser of NIMR's successful Research Summer School. He writes "Successful scientists often mention a youthful experience that convinced them of their aptitude for research. Can we provide such opportunities for young people before they arrive at university?" He also recounts a comment made by a Nuffield Bursary student of the 2004 vintage to last year's summer school at NIMR: "You should treasure your time as a Nuffield Student; you will be at university almost 2 years before you do practical or written work like this". That former student was looking back to what she remembered as a fabulous summer at NIMR, when she discovered the fascination of research in neuroendocrinology.
