Bio
Sau Ling (Charlene) Chan aspires not simply to create scientific minds but to stimulate critical thinking, pushing each student to pursue individual interests and seek out opportunities to learn. For students interested in neuroscience she recommends reading Brain Rules while she finds a neuroscientist mentor at CUNY. And so on for students interested in genetics, astronomy, and dozens of other fields. Her efforts leading students in scientific research projects have resulted in an international exchange program in which her students visit schools in Taiwan, Singapore, and Vietnam, present their research, and host international students back home. Schools in Mexico, China, and elsewhere are replicating Ms. Chan’s scientific research course.
