Education

As much of the U.S. broils under record-setting temperatures, battles wildfires and is rocked by fierce storms, a new study suggests that the science learning standards for many public schools are not preparing young people to understand and respond to problems such as climate change that will dramatically impact their lives and those of millions of people around the globe. 

Learning Through Experience

Engaging in laboratory research at the undergraduate and graduate level brings significant benefits, not the least of which is the value of receiving real-world work experience both inside and outside the classroom. Students at the IGB shape their plans for a postgraduate career and build valuable, lasting professional networks, working as a member of a larger collaborative effort and interacting with fellow students and faculty.
