Dr. Lindsay Barone<\/a>\u00a0conducted a two-year mixed methods evaluation beginning in fall 2020 to measure the impacts of the New York City Virus Hunters internship on students\u2019 self perception\u00a0as scientists and their overall perception towards science. The aggregate results found that the Virus Hunters program resulted in substantial development of students\u2019 self perception as scientists through close, skills-based mentorship; in-person science activities; and recognition as scientists by external institutions of note. We are particularly pleased to report that the evaluation demonstrated the program\u2019s success during the COVID-19 pandemic when we had to restrict in-person activities.<\/p>\n

Among the students who have completed the Virus Hunters internship to date, all\u00a0students are\u00a0now attending college. Five students were hired\u00a0for positions in Dr. Krammer\u2019s lab, and\u00a0three students were hired for positions at BioBus. Fellow alumni have gone on to study at New York University, Tufts University, Hunter College, John Jay College for Criminal Justice, Binghamton University, Pennsylvania State University, Boston College, University of Rochester and American University. Other students have continued their high school studies. We look forward to helping all of the students achieve their scientific goals!<\/p>\n
