So, I've been applying to a heck ton of summer programs, and I'm currently debating btwn LEDA and MITES Semester (got accepted to both). Really, though, I've already committed to LEDA, but I wanted to see if anyone attended either one, to provide some insight on your experiences.

The Harvard Undergraduate Microbiology Society (HUMS) is calling all high schoolers interested in microbiology, molecular/cell bio, or biology in general to apply for our Junior Student Fellows program. 🔬 As a HUMS Junior Student Fellow, you’ll get: - Access to virtual speaker events, workshops, and lab tours (if local) - Mentorship from Harvard undergrads on research opportunities, science fairs, etc. - Opportunities to connect with Harvard researchers and mentors - A chance to explore careers in microbiology, biotech, and medicine in Boston / Cambridge - A community of students who love science as much as you do! 📌 No research experience required — just a love for science and a desire to grow. 📝 Spots are limited. Fill out this quick, 3-minute form in the comments! https://forms.gle/72FDFWkKjdFhANo47 Feel free to share this with any high schoolers who might be interested!

Hello! I'm a high school freshman in the U.S. seeking advice for grades, class ranking, and standardized testing. I needed help on my own, as I'm taking the following courses shown in the photos below, and also have my grades for the first semester. Could you help give me tips and or solution to help tailor my grades from A- or Bs to primarily As and A+s and fix that slight difference? The main problem is Computer Science I and Geometry, which are my mathematical-based classes; my problem isn't procrastinating or spending time on my phone, but instead time management for courses on how long to spend studying or doing homework. For example, doing Computer Science I Advanced Homework can take 3-4 Hours or the whole time, but I'm not even done with it, leaving little to no time for other classes. Also, I feel that the classes nowadays are not taught and are more self-independent, especially in honors classes, which teach you to be self-sufficient, but lack practice resources. I want to grow my academic skills to have a strong foundation. People may say you have time, or it will grow over time, but I want actionable skills or tasks to improve further, as this is very important to me. As a kinesthetic learner who likes to teach, I would like to integrate that learning style into my work.

Where Are You in Your Science Fair Journey and on Track for the Regional Fair Deadlines? This is your science fair season, and the pressure mounts. So, where are you with your science fair research project? What have you done so far, and where do you think students should generally be at this stage to meet typical regional fair deadlines?
