World Science Scholars Welcomes the 2023 Cohort of Promising Young Scientists

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Science Scholars (WSS) program provides an unparalleled opportunity for extraordinarily gifted high school students from around the world to explore cutting-edge scientific research with world-renowned scientists. WSS recently welcomed its sixth cohort of 52 scholars from 22 different countries. The scholars will engage in a year-long journey of learning and discovery with WSS faculty, including Nobel Laureates, Breakthrough Prize winners, best-selling authors, and science experts working at the cutting edge of their fields. Scholars take advanced, self-paced courses with scientists such as Brian Greene, a renowned physicist and author; Conny Aerts, a 2022 Kavli prize winning asteroseismologist; Erich Jarvis; a pioneering neurobiologist; Stephen Wolfram, a trailblazing computer scientist; Cumrun Vafa, a Breakthrough Prize winning theoretical physicist. Scholars collaborate on projects, attend virtual lab tours, and have the unique opportunity to interact directly with their professors and teaching fellows through online lectures and live virtual discussions. Scholars also comprise a vibrant and supportive online community that encourages discussion, debate, and collaboration among the students, enabling them to forge lifelong connections with their peers.
