Our daughter had to intern at a research facility for her HS Biotech class lab requirement. My neighbor was a PI working on diabetes research at our local UC. Our daughter did a year of “work” monitoring the “subjects” lab work- PCR’s and other results. (Initially, they were going to reject our daughter because of research and minors, but DD was a late November Bday and we held her back in Kinder. She was 18 when she was interning.)
I don’t think the UC’s asked, but a Harvard researcher reached out to our neighbor, who reported that she received a call from a “distant” colleague working on a similar study, and had our daughter’s name and the name of the study, and the PI’s info. I think they were curious but I don’t know if it was a check on her EC.
