We’ve missed all of your smiling faces and are very excited to welcome you back in person with A Day in the Life with Brian Young! Brian is a Medical Research Assistant at a local Biotech company, Ontera. Ontera is convinced that better information is needed to enhance human and environmental health in a sustainable way. They have embarked on a journey to revolutionize diagnostics.

Youth will explore various lab and technician tools, hear Brian’s career path, and learn about the variety of careers available in this booming industry.
