Dear Colleagues and Friends: Per our conversations with National Science Foundation and others, we are officially offering another opportunity for 10 more participants to come to Tucson and learn to be a scientist in summer of 2020! I've attached the flyer with the readiness academy dates of May 31 - June 6, 2020. Note that we are extending the invitation to children and youth nationally (thanks to your input) and will offer a travel stipend of $500 to anyone residing outside the southwest. Anyone interested should contact me or Sunggye and fill out the referral form to get the interview process going. We would like to have our 10 participants identified no later than March 15, 2020.
