📊 Data drives discovery!

RGVSSI interns strengthened their research skills during a Statistics Workshop led by **Dr. Miryoung Lee** and **Dr. Audrey Choh**. The session introduced key statistical concepts and analytical techniques that are essential for conducting and interpreting public health research.

Thank you to Dr. Lee and Dr. Choh for inspiring the next generation of researchers and helping our interns build a strong foundation in data-driven science.

We welcomed our newest cohort of interns during orientation sessions in both Brownsville and Edinburg. Students had the opportunity to meet their mentors, connect with fellow interns, hear from RGVSSI alumni, learn about program expectations, tour research laboratories, and complete safety training as they prepare for an exciting summer of hands-on research.

We are excited to watch these future scientists grow, learn, and contribute to meaningful research experiences across the Rio Grande Valley.

Join us in welcoming the 2026 RGVSSI interns and their families and wishing them a successful summer! 🔬✨
