Katie Score |
Established in 2001, the BRIN program was created to expose students to serious biomedical research, build a statewide biomedical research infrastructure between undergraduate and graduate institutions and to strengthen each undergraduate institution’s infrastructure and increase its capacity to conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research.
Today we meet Katie Score, a human biology major at Chadron State College.
Who is Katie Score?
I am 21 years old and from Elgin, Neb. I attend Chadron State College. I am currently studying in the RHOP (Rural Health Opportunities Program) for pre-med, majoring in human biology.
Has science always been a part of your life?
I have always been interested in science since I was a child, specifically in medicine and physiology.
How is it important to you?
I find this important in what it can do to improve society and quality of life. What we can learn from study in various areas has potential to influence future advances in medicine, agriculture and business.
Why did you choose to participate in the INBRE program?
I chose to participate in the INBRE program because of the excellent experience it provides, not only in research, but also the education the program provides in the weekly seminars.
What do you hope to gain from the program?
Insight to the research process, experience, greater understanding about the project I will be working on and meeting great people.
