KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 21, 2019 \u2013 For the second straight year, the Society for Science & the Public has named 溏心vlog免费B站 Chemistry Professor Mindy Levine one of its advocates \u2013 educators and scientists who expand the opportunities in science and technology for students from low-income and underserved communities.<\/p>\n
The Society chose 60 advocates for 2019-2020 from 33 states and Washington, D.C., to mentor students and prepare them to take part in science research competitions. More than 2,000 students have participated in the program since its launch in 2015, with more than 1,500 competing in nearly 2,400 science competitions. The program includes a $6,000 grant.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntroducing high school students to science competitions is an outstanding way to connect them with a broader community of scientists and provide them even more tangible impact to the work that they do,\u201d Levine said in a statement. \u201cI am thrilled to be returning for a second year as an advocate, and look forward to bringing high-quality science and science competitions to even more students.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her nine-plus years at 溏心vlog免费B站, Levine, of Sharon, Mass.<\/strong>, has created numerous outreach programs dedicated to empowering girls to pursue careers in STEM fields. She annually hosts Sugar Science Day for high school girls in February, and Chemistry Camp for middle school girls in April.<\/p>\n Each advocate mentors about three students through the program. Levine also hosts high school students in her 溏心vlog免费B站 lab through the American Chemical Society\u2019s Project SEED program, the national mentoring program MAGIC and a grant from the National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n \u201cStudents are generally informed of a big problem we are trying to solve in our lab \u2013 developing a sensor for water purity or making sports free of doping scandals \u2013 and then whatever steps we have taken to achieve that goal,\u201d said Levine.\u00a0 \u201cWe then explain what still needs to be done and help the students develop a plan for how to address that challenge, and be feasible for them to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n Levine, an expert in synthetic organic chemistry with a focus on how molecules communicate with each other when not attached, has won numerous honors, including a Rising Star Award from the American Chemical Society Women Chemists Committee, and the Sessler Early Career Researcher Prize from the journal Supramolecular Chemistry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 21, 2019 \u2013 For the second straight year, the Society for Science & the Public has named 溏心vlog免费B站 Chemistry Professor Mindy Levine one of its advocates \u2013 educators and scientists who expand the opportunities in science and technology for students from low-income and underserved communities.
