Credit: NIAID Introducing local students to biomedical science and research has long been a feature of outreach programs at NIAID's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana.  However, realizing that traditional laboratory science – aka "bench research" – isn't for everyone, RML staff recently invited two dozen area high school students for a day of experiencing traditional research and the lesser-known careers that make bench research possible. Where bench science can be slow and methodical – scientists may spend their entire career investigating the same problem – jobs that support bench research often vary greatly from project to project. During their visit, students learned about biosafety, proper laboratory skills, such as pipetting, dressing in personal protective equipment, animal care, and heard from employees who had attended local high schools.   Learn More National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases  |  National Institutes of Health
