Back after a 4 year delay due to you-know-what, Brooklyn College Science Research Day 2024 is a revived annual event that showcases the work done by students with research mentors at Brooklyn College. This year around 125 students presented their work in one of several STEM categories, with faculty members and friends of science serving as judges. Awards were given in three divisions: high school, undergraduate and graduate. 13 Midwood Science students participated, two of our projects tied for First Place.
