[quote=Anonymous]I could see the edge of the high school STEM star universe in the 1980s.

Some specialized high schools have programs that help high school students develop and conduct research projects aimed at the top science scholarship competitions.

Science museums and some universities have summer science research project programs aimed at high school students.

In the age of the internet, the very best high  school students in those programs are often as smart and knowledgeable as good grad students. There’s no reason they can’t pick a good subject and do a nice paper.

Adult scientists in a field might look at the title and the impact rating of the publication and understand why the paper is not really at the same level as a paper a respectable adult researcher would publish, but the paper might sound amazing to us laypeople.

Given how smart and mature those great kids are, it could be that the professors glom onto them and find part-time remote research work for them, instead of hiring them through a cattle call.
