OUTREACH : Publication by High-School Students

Future Scientists in the Making :

A high school student is currently doing an internship with our group and has co-authored a research paper on Generative AI, now published in Cell Reports Physical Science by Cell Press. https://lnkd.in/eASXJvMz

In the past, another high school student published a first-author paper in the Elsevier Journal of Materials Science. https://lnkd.in/ev5QFftH
That student is now pursuing an M.D. at Georgetown University School of Medicine.

This summer, we are mentoring 15 high school students – many of whom are on track to publish journal papers.

It’s truly inspiring to see high school students publishing research before even starting college. Wishing these bright young minds continued success !

OUTREACH: Appreciation Letter from Jose Marti STEM Academy

Jose Marti STEM Academy wrote an appreciation letter to Dibakar Datta for “changing the lives” of many high school students. However, the real credit goes to all the Ph.D. students who supervise high school interns without receiving extra compensation. God bless all the Ph.D. students at DDLab.

OUTREACH : West Orange New Jersey Public School

Mount Pleasant Elementary School New Jersey invited Dibakar Datta to speak about science to 4th and 5th grade students (ages 10-11 years). Some questions the kids asked :

• “I want to be the first person to land on Mars. I am only 10 years old. How should I prepare?” 🚀

• “I heard about flying cars. Will our school bus also fly? Will we come to school flying?” 🤔

“Have you invented anything?” 🙄

• “In your opinion, what’s the greatest scientific invention of all time?” ⚡

• “Do you love what you do?” 📚

• “I am 10 years old. How can I earn a lot of money at my age? I don’t like my parents’ spending money on me.” 🙏

God bless these smart kids …
