BioQuest will help students to discover first-hand that science is not just for moldy-oldie dead guys or geeks. They will: research "how scientists learn" using profile information collected directly from real scientists, collect and analyze data, and summarize the lives of their scientists by creating bio-poems. Their research will lead them to conclude that scientists can be cutting-edge professionals who do what they love, love what they do, and are changing the world for the better.

From studying monkeys to walking on the moon, today's scientists design their own careers. To learn how you can do what you love, and love what you do, READ ON!
