Do you ever find yourself in the middle of the tundra wondering why there
aren't as many berries as you remember as a kid? Maybe you look toward the ocean and
marvel at the aquatic ecosystem thriving beneath the waves. Perhaps you want to use
your knowledge to stop coastal erosion in its path.
No matter your focus, RAHI Â鶹¹ÙÍø will give you the skills you need to pave your way into the science community by pairing you up with UAF researchers who do science for a living. You'll get hands-on experience in the lab and learn to analyze data using the scientific method. You'll learn about the concept of one health and biomedical research. You'll have the opportunity to complete a project and impress your peers and mentors with your findings. You'll find out what it takes to become a scientist.
