The Spring Lecture Series for High School Students encourages participants to explore the facts behind the science headlines and experience cutting-edge biomedical research. The three-day program, held over spring break, features lectures from leading scientific experts, hands-on laboratory sessions, visits to local biotech organizations, and opportunities to meet with pioneering Whitehead scientists. Since its launch in 1992, more than 2,700 students have participated in the series.
