"Researcher for a Day": Creating and Shaping a New Generation of Scientific and Medical Researchers.

Science is the engine of prosperity, helping society respond to the important issues it faces. We are presently witnessing a worldwide decline in high school students' interest in science, regardless of gender. To overcome this problem, developing science promotion programs and activities that inspire young people to become the scientists of tomorrow is critical.

To specifically address this question, we administered a second-generation cephalosporin, cefprozil, to healthy volunteers.
