The Cornell Science Challenge of the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences was prominently featured on three local New York television stationsChannel 4 (NBC), Channel 5 (FOX) and Channel 9 (WOR)on Tuesday night, April 4. The program, conceived and run by WCGSMS students, involves graduate students serving as science mentors for children in New York City public middle schoolswith the children studying and learning the scientific method and how to conduct actual experiments. Led by student-founder Sara Glickstein and East Side Middle School (ESMS) science teacher John Baglio, the Science Challenge culminates in hands-on, student-generated experiments presented at an annual WCGSMS Science Fair. Dr. Max Gomez, medical reporter for WNBC, served as one of the judges and presented the awards to the young student-winners at this year's Science Fair on April 4. Kudos to all connected with this program, which is a wonderful example of significant community outreach on the part of our school.
