Be Extraordinary
We are thrilled to be celebrating the 85th Science Talent Search and 10 years with Regeneron as our sponsor. Together, the Society and Regeneron are fueling the brightest young minds and nurturing their potential to become Extraordinary. Regeneron and the Society brought together several STS alumni to share their experiences, the impact on their lives, and how the program helped them Be Extraordinary.
