在今年夏天的六个星期里，9名CBE高中学生有机会参加了位于卡尔加里大学的Heritage Youth Researcher Summer（HYRS）项目。学生们参与了最先进的实验室研究。在这个项目中，学生们与科学界的成员见面并交流，他们为学生提供了关于潜在职业和未来可能性的宝贵见解。

“HYRS项目向我提供了一次终身难忘的机会，亲身体验生物医学和健康研究。在高中阶段就能接触到STEM职业机会真是太棒了，”来自Robert Thirsk High School的12年级学生Srijal G.说道。

HYRS项目的学生选拔十分严格和竞争激烈，公立、私立、特许和私立学校的学生争夺22个名额。被选中的学生在整个项目期间都在专门的科学研究实验室工作，其中包括Srijal G.所在的Noskov实验室。

“我的项目与甲状腺癌的治疗和诊断有关，具体涉及到一种叫做NIS的蛋白质，”Srijal说到。

HYRS项目的申请在年初发布，并截止到三月份。

For six weeks this summer, nine CBE high school students had the opportunity to be part of the Heritage Youth Researcher Summer (HYRS) program at the University of Calgary. Students participated in state-of-the-art lab research. During the program, students meet and connect with members of the scientific community who offer invaluable insights on potential careers and future possibilities for students.

“The HYRS program provided me with a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience biomedical and health research first-hand. It was amazing to experience STEM career opportunities, while in high school,” says Srijal G., Grade 12 student at Robert Thirsk High School.

Student selection for the HYRS program is rigorous and competitive as students from public, separate, charter and private schools compete for 22 spots. Selected students worked in specialized scientific research laboratories, including the Noskov Laboratory where Srijal G. worked, for the duration of the program.

“My project was related to the treatment and diagnosis of thyroid cancer, specifically through a protein known as NIS,” says Srijal.

Applications for the HYRS program come out early in the year, and are due in March.
