Griffin Andres, a Cambridge Rindge and Latin School student, gave his final presentation following a semester-long internship program at Harvard. "I think a lot of the research we saw presented today will end up on published papers with the students’ names on them," said Professor John Wakeley, chair of the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, who was impressed with how much the students learned.
