Two programs run through Johns Hopkins University are preparing Baltimore city public high school students for future careers in the sciences, reports the Baltimore Sun.

  • MERIT, or Medical Education Resources Initiative for Teens, is open to all city public high school students and provides “intensive academic support and mentoring.”
  • BRBT, or Biophysics Research for Baltimore Teens, pairs students “with a Hopkins professor, a graduate student and an undergraduate student mentor, and students are given paid summer internships in Hopkins biophysics labs.”
