[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with you. Scientist type myself. Worked in NIH research labs as a HS student every summer in late 80s. They finally put me on a publication when I was already in college.

There are literarily companies these days that help kids get set up with what seems to be bogus research projects at schools that the companies pay (which is really parent money).

There are a few real things like regeneron prizes and there are kids who still do NIH type work these days but publications are not usually forthcoming unless the same said parents have bought them via these for profit programs.

It’s all part of this performative dance we do as the only country in the world that looks at ECs and research for 16 - 18 year olds. This doesn’t happen in the UK or France. I’m sure they turn out kids just as smart

We’ve decided somewhere that we need resumes that look like super humans to get into a top 50.

It’s all BS and many of these research projects and club presidencies are bogus, no work or bought by mom and dad. [/quote]
What makes you think kids winning regeneron don’t have parent help? [/quote]
