Thank you to all of our 2024 Judges

Behind the scenes our category and special award judges have volunteered their time preparing to interview each of our student participants by viewing the deliverable items consisting of an abstract, research plan, lab notebook excerpts and additional application forms.

The 2023 judges hailed from various academic, medical, business and industrial sites throughout the Bay Area and nationwide!
