Volume 5 • 2023

Abstracts in this issue represent mentored research by students participating either in-person (about 2/3 of interns) or exclusively remotely (about 1/3 of interns). All students conducted original, exciting research that they presented either in a live poster session or at a night of research scholarship conducted remotely. As the largest ASSIP class ever, nearly 300 interns strong, this 2023 cohort demonstrates our mentor's commitment to providing hands-on research opportunities to students who want to pursue their passions in science.
