Try. Fail. Learn. Reflect. Improve. Try again. Success is often the result of calculated risks and small wins eked out over setbacks. Max Sims '16 will shed some light on the resources and funding opportunities he used to set up UR-UPP (https://www.rochester.edu/College/ugresearch/ur-upp/index.html). This talk will focus on how his dual interests in startups and scientific research led to a sustainable program that actively helps undergraduate science students find long-term, impactful research projects and faculty mentors at the UR Medical Center.
