Spring Excursion: A Day with Scripps Biomedical Research

On March 10, 2023, Beyond120 students attended an exciting day of activities with world-leading biomedical innovators at the Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation in Jupiter, FL. Activities included lab tours, research presentations, opportunities to meet faculty and learn about exclusive internships, and more. The Jupiter, Florida campus was established by Scripps Research, an organization which the scientific journal Nature has rated as the most influential research institution in the world. Scripps faculty and the students in their graduate programs work at the cutting edge of a variety of fields within the biological and medical sciences. Since officially becoming a part of the University of Florida, UF Scripps is looking to provide more research opportunities for Florida students and is opening their doors through this excursion to all CLAS students interested in discovering what the Scripps Jupiter campus has to offer!
