Polans Hosts RAP Student in Laboratory

Precyous Banks discusses an experiment with Paul van Ginkel, PhD, Associate Scientist in the lab of Arthur Polans, PhD, during her summer research experience.

Precyous Banks is spending a portion of her summer learning about research first-hand. RAP is a seven-week pre-college academic program designed to introduce high school students to scientific research and to the University. Banks, who is also a member of PEOPLE (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence), is applying to UW-Madison this year and would like to attend the School of Medicine and Public Health in the future. Arthur Polans welcomes students into his laboratory, giving them specific assignments and experiments to complete, knowing that the students grow from both their successes and failures in the lab.
