What sets the PrimeSCI!-CETEC LabRats science club apart is our long-standing relationship with researchers who act as scientist mentors.
Researchers are selected for their research topic, scientific passion, and desire to communicate with younger minds.
We show that scientists come in all shapes and sizes, genders and backgrounds. Meeting real scientists working in vastly different areas of science provide tangible role models for the LabRats with their varied interests.
If you are THAT researcher and would like to participate as our Superstar Scientist, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Gemma Reid at gemma.reid@monash.edu
