In2STEM summer placement at the Ear Institute 19 - 23 August 2024
In2STEM provides valuable insights from industry and research professionals, skill-building opportunities and a pathway to a wide range of STEM careers.
The Ear Institute is pleased to continue supporting听young people to help them follow their passion for science. Students led by Carlos Aguilar and Marissa Flook Pereira had a busy week exploring laboratories, speaking to scientists and technicians,听and had the opportunity to listen听to a talk given by ENT surgeon Mr Nish Mehta.
Many found their placement an interesting, valuable experience with real insight into what it is to be a scientist. Running experiments in the lab, working with electron microscopes and sampling human studies in an anechoic chamber were among the highlights of their visit.

" I am very grateful for completing an in-person work experience in Biosciences at the 果冻影院 Ear Institute. After learning a range of lab techniques and talking with different members of the institute, my aspiration of working towards a role in research was consolidated.听
While developing an appreciation for the science of hearing, which I had not given much thought about before my placement, I came to be most intrigued by the major research being done concerning the regenerative hearing in birds which we, as mammals, do not have.听
It was amazing to speak to a range of people including Post-Docs, PhD students, and the other sixth formers with which I was placed. Overall, the experience was incredibly useful and inspiring! "
