and food security. She hopes to use her passions for those interests to become an advocate for the issues, not just administer them as a physician, and said she was inspired to activism after volunteering. “Through volunteering, I have witnessed firsthand the terrible structural violence within homeless communities, where young children and adults have died from very treatable ailments simply because they did not have access to basic healthcare,” Bozich said. She hopes that pairing her two majors

NIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program sponsors  a 11-week summer internship program for undergraduate students enrolled at U.S. 2-year and 4-year institutions majoring in chemistry, computer science, engineering, materials science, fire research, nanotechnology, information technology, mathematics, biology, manufacturing, statistics, or other STEM discipline. The program provides students with hands-on research experience under the mentorship of a NIST scientist or engineer

intellectually intense, the competition is also physically grueling; students usually sleep no more than three hours a night. Despite frequent team runs to Bigfoot Java, Duffy, a third-year computer science major, got sleep paralysis twice in 24 hours. Yet the stress and the fun go hand in hand. Madeline, a second-year physics major, particularly loved waiting for the problems to open and for the timer to go off. “And then it’s just violent brainstorming,” she added. “Every single room has eight whiteboards

, too!Ash recently completed medical interpretation training and plans to apply for medical school while working as a Spanish language medical interpreter over the summer. Ash sees this as the next step in achieving her goals. “One of my main driving factors in becoming a doctor is to help the Hispanic community and give back,” she says.

She couldn’t get past one question: Why do you want to go to medical school? She couldn’t answer it. “Then it hit me,” Thiele said. “I don’t want to go to medical school.” She stood up from her computer and went out to the living area where her roommates were sitting and calmly
