2015-4-8 昨天晚上,经过近一个星期的忐忑和比较,妹妹终于选择了马克思普朗克脑科学研究所,并鼓起勇气,给Scripps Florida研究所写了一封拒绝信。今天白天,我也花了点功夫,仔细看了一下马普所的网页,虽说这马普所比较年轻,可是气度非凡,不愧是世界级水平的研究所,从MIT、杜克大学等名校挖过来包括诺贝尔奖金获得者在内的世界最顶尖的科学家们,眼界高,起点好,从最棒的高中招收最棒的实习学生,同时他们的档案工作也做得比较好,每次事件,都记录的很详细,让人过目不忘。 由德国在美国设研究所,由日本人做老板,招中国人当实习生,这本身说起来,就是一个传奇故事。 而且我们一个朋友的小孩,也是妹妹学校的,先后在马普所和Scripps做实习,今年被哥伦比亚大学、杜克大学、和康奈尔大学录取。 The Jupiter Neuroscience Campus consists of collaboration between neuroscientists from MPFI, Scripps Florida, and Florida Atlantic University, with an extended network of research excellence in nearby Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida. Dr. Ryohei Yasuda was named Scientific Director of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience in 2012 and heads the Neuronal Signal Transduction Lab. The focus of Dr. Yasuda’s lab is to elucidate some of the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and ultimately learning and memory The nine talented students selected for the 2014 program are: Ibrahim Ali , Brittany Fischer, Samantha Grubner and Revathi Ravella of Suncoast High School, Rohan Challa, Jonathan Li , David McClintock and Anton Relin of Atlantic Community High School, and Taisuke Yasuda of the Dreyfoos School of the Arts. These students were selected based on their exceptional academic records and keen interest in pursuing a career in science.
