Name: Stephen Paul Gould
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Hometown: Plymouth, Michigan
High School: Plymouth community High School
Do you know any Russian?: A few phrases. I’m teaching myself. I learn fast.
Why do you want to study in Russia?: Do you know how many of the greatest biologists and chemists came from Russia? I want to study in the same country that spawned Vavilov, Dobzhansky, and Mendeleev in spite of the ridiculous Lamarckian nonsense that was taught in the schools. Maybe it’s the hundreds of years of rich culture (or the freezing climate and the fact that there’s nothing else to do) that produces genius.
What do you hope to get out of your experience?: I’d like to expand my horizons and experience as a scientist and get a look at some of the RAS labs. I may do some of my own research on plant growth and cold resistance as well. The data set I amassed in Michigan won’t be credible unless I can back up my research with a second set. Oh, and it looks good on a resume.
What are your interests?: Chemistry (mostly organic), cellular biology, bioengineering, ecology, physics, track, guitar.
Should we know anything else about you?: Nothing leaps to mind. |
