Helping pave the way for future researchers is something we consider very important! Over this summer, our Emerging Infections Laboratory had the opportunity to mentor a group of high school students. When they wrapped up their experience, the students left this thoughtful note for the team.

A handwritten letter that starts with "Dear Selvarangan Lab". The letter is from high school students and thanks the team for mentoring them this summer. It ends with 3 PCR jokes.
