Diversity and youth are making all the difference in medical research
High School of Health Sciences | Wales, WI
Dr. Brian Hoffmann is a pioneer in medical research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He started a program called the “Supremes,” where high school students can work alongside primary investigators, graduate students, and staff members of a true research facility. Having more diversity in his investigating team has paid off with innovative ideas and strategies that may have been overlooked by traditional researchers.
This video is a SRL STEM curriculum exercise that builds production skills by interviewing a researcher about making an idea a reality.
