HPV can infect the mouth and throat and cause cancers of the oropharynx. This is called oropharyngeal cancer. HPV is thought to cause 70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States.

Thank you for your interest in the 2023 Immersion Science Hybrid Program!

We had an overwhelming number of registrations and the ISP office is in the process of obtaining confirmations. Our office is processing the round-1 registrations to best inform us of how many seats maybe open. We hope to have the high volume of registrations sorted this afternoon as we wait for confirmations.

At this time we have re-opened the registration form.
ALL new registrants will be placed on the wait list and contacted as seats open.

We appreciate your support and patience during this exciting scientific time.
The ISP Team

When friends start work on a small project and together they nurture it, help it grow, and eventually give it wings to FLY, everyone gets to celebrate together!
What started in a lab with 15 students is now a powerhouse that supports access to and equity in biomedical research across the country!!
From the start they taught students the importance of collaboration and accountability.

Today we share their success! For almost 10 years, they collected data, working with students, teachers, and researchers. NOW we can share the of this collaborative work!! We are SO proud to have created this together, but this is just a NEW beginning! Join our and we will FLY together! WOOHOO and CONGRATS to Alana O'Reilly, Dara Ruiz-Whalen and ALL of their amazing co-AUTHORS for bringing this chapter to fruition!!! Eclose Institute Immersion Science Program

AND A HUGE shout out Tina Tootle and Michelle Giedt for all of the support over the past year!

Calling all Citizen Scientists!! Have YOU ever seen a STEM CELL?? Well... now is your chance! Our colleague is presenting at a national conference and wants YOUR input! Take the survey... It is not right/wrong/or graded and IS strictly anonymous as for the responses! Take your time, look at the images taken with a confocal microscope (LASERS!!) and identify the stem cells. BONUS: complete the survey and at the end you have an opportunity to submit a contact to share that you were part of this amazing project! Students as young as 5th grade and adults of any age are welcome to participate! You are ALL Citizen Scientists!! Science/Research professionals to novice and simply interested citscientists welcome!! THANK YOU for your support! https://forms.gle/63q1zpdtuFySGnpm8

Thanks for your help! In this project, we are trying to address a controversy about where Follicle Stem Cells are in the Drosophila (fruity fly) o***y. Some scientists think they are in a fixed location, just in one spot. Other scientists think many different locations represent Follicle Stem Cells....
