Thank you to our UArizona Mentors

“I believe having students in our labs offers a chance for them to get hands-on experience in a running lab doing science (they get to experience the joy, the frustration, and the boredom—all of which are part of science) and they get to be part of a team (the lab) which is truly one of the best parts of science!”
