Congratulations to Prachee, our Class of 2019 awardee of a Rose & Victor Rifkin Family Scholarship, now enrolled at Colby College, where she’ll be studying biochemistry on the path to a career in research:
“Talking about science brings me boundless joy; I might even say that despite speaking three languages, the language I feel most comfortable talking in is the language of science, especially biology. The topics in biology, the diversity of the field, how synchronized and organized everything is ― it all has always thrilled me. The endless possibilities, of treating a disease by tweaking or making slight changes in human cells using the genetic materials from other living organisms for their particular traits, amaze me. I really like biology because I believe that in this particular field of science I can do so much to make human life better.”
