UW program offers students a ?test run? at studying the sciences

Eboni Turner, a high school student from Chicago, will never forget the six weeks she spent in Madison for the Summer Science Institute. She was doing field research in Lake Wingra when she got stuck in the decomposing material at the bottom. Turner was one of 16 students who participated in the recent Summer Science Institute, a six-week residential program through the Center for Biology Education at UW-Madison. The program gives high school students an understanding of biological and physical research while learning about college life.
