BSRP 2024 was a transformative, challenging, and life-changing experience. The Scientific Communication course, BLD sessions, Faculty Breakfast, and workshops helped us develop into better versions of ourselves and scientists. Surrounded by a community of passionate and driven individuals, I grew alongside new friends who quickly became like family. Their dedication, enthusiasm for science, love, and support made this experience unique. Working alongside prestigious scientists and learning from incredible mentors broadened my scientific understanding and fueled my aspiration to transform realities and improve society through research. I am deeply grateful for the support and guidance from all the BSRP staff, mentors, and lab members. Lastly, BSRP is about science, leadership, community, and, most importantly, change. I cannot wait to see all the changes we will make in the world and how we will use all the lessons to transform the science community.
