Summer Ventures in Science & Mathematics

Summer Ventures in Science & Mathematics (SVSM) is a cost-free, state-funded program for academically talented students who may pursue careers based in science and mathematics. The program brings rising juniors and seniors together for four weeks of intensive study on university campuses including UNC Wilmington. Dr. Yopak will be giving a talk entitled, “Are Sharks Smart? Exploring the Brain of Sharks and Their Relatives” and sharing her career path and how exactly someone gets “into” shark brains. Then we’re going to roll up our sleeves and design our own brains!
