These paragraphs highlight a significant experience exemplifying the inquiry-based curriculum and career developmental opportunities emphasized in the major.

Pascal Accoh During my first year at Lake Forest College my advisor, Dr. Shubhik DebBurman, offered me a wonderful opportunity to do research during the summer at Rosalind Franklin University. This research internship, provided in partnership with Lake Forest College, not only led to my further pursuit of scientific research, but it also led to my participation in various scientific symposiums and conferences. These experiences, along with Dr. DebBurman, really encouraged me to write a senior thesis that allows me to share the various findings that I have come across during my past years of research. My recent research study focuses on the periadolescent activation of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor and the prevention of the normal developmental facilitation of parvalbumin-positive interneurons in prefrontal cortex. I feel that the Lake Forest College Biology Department has provided a number of valuable resources and experiences that I will cherish the rest of my life
