| + | For this inaugural year of the program, forty fellows will join labs and research teams of faculty at the University of Pennsylvania and engage in four weeks of research activity, participate in daily academic seminars led by leading Penn faculty, and participate in social activities together with undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Pennsylvania. The program will begin with a three-day orientation in Tel Aviv that will include Penn faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, along with Academic Bridge Fellows. This orientation will offer fellows the opportunity to learn about the US academic system and about the scientific process. The orientation will also offer fellows the opportunity to get to know one another and the program leaders and create a community before traveling together to the US. | ||
