The Oakville Optimist Club also put in $300 toward her fee while her school contributed another $200. However, it wasn‘t all work and school throughout the six weeks. Apart from enjoying an atmosphere of independence and freedom akin to university life, Jain said she and fellow students went to the beach and Algonquin Park on two separate weekends and relished the friendly companionship of "people of the same calibre." We (girls) would come up with a different way of looking at things (scientifâ€" ic research)," she said. "It‘s good for the future if men and women can work together and get ideas from both perspectives." & She thought the summer program allowing young people to get involved in research helped to fill some of the void left by government cutbacks in Canada‘s research and development funding. Industry wanted "younger minds to get into science. â€" At the end of her research, she had to submit a scientific research report on her findings, complete with abstract and introduction, "just like the scientists do." For a student who had written only essays at school, this type of reporting presented quite a challenge. Her mark on the project: 91%. To The two credits in science were her just reward for taking biology classes, twice a week. Her final grade was 98%. i Jain was one of 42 high school students living at the Deep River campus, about 200 km. northwest of Ottawa. The fact there were six fewer males (18) than females (24) seemed appropriate to Jain who maintained more women should be getting into this maleâ€"dominated field of science. Her own observaâ€" tions during the summer led her to the belief that science required both female and male perspectives. + By BARB JOY Oakville Beaver Staff en Lily Jain started her Grade 11 studies at Queen Elizabeth Park s’s/ School this September, she already had two credits on her plate. She got them at a prestigeous institution. s For six weeks this past summer Jain attended the Deep River Sciencé Academy where young men and women of scientific bent have, for the past seven summers, been digging into research projects. For 15â€"yearâ€"old Jain, who had a deep interest in biology and chemisty at school, it provided the chance to gain handsâ€"on research experience at one of Canada‘s foremost laboratories. _ â€" Jain carried out most of her research work at the Petawawa National Forestry Institute which, along with the Chalk River Laboratories of AECL (Atomic Energy of Canada Limited) Research, provides laboratory settings for the young scientists. ‘ While other students were involved in projects such as drought resistance in forestry or genetic engineering in plants, Jain went out each day to measure the shoot growth on black spruce trees from four areas of the country to detenm which trees would grow best in what climate. & Summer in northern Ontario was a blend of research and learning Lily Jain (in foreground) with lab partner Kim Nguien, work tree experiments in north Ontario. on
