 Partners for the Future (PFF)
Through this program, designed to
introduce high school students to the world of basic
research, the Lab welcomed five teenagers again this
year. The students work October through March with
scientist mentors from the Lab, on original research
projects. I am pleased to welcome Cablevision as the
first corporate partner for the PFF program, and am
grateful for their forethought in establishing this
partnership. This year their corporate sponsorship
funded Sophia Virani of Herricks High School, who
worked with Hong Ma on plant genetics. The other
participants, their high schools, and Lab mentors
are: Jana Steiger, Oyster Bay High School (with Peter
Nestler); David Nussbaum, Half Hollow Hills High
School West (Michael Regulski); Robert Wlodarczyk,
Hauppauge High School (John Connolly); and Maddalena
Pizzirusso, Sewanhaka High School (Erich Grotewold).
