A memorable experience My child started the mentoring program with Sannah B in January this year and will finish it this month. They worked at a high-performance pace, without compromises. If your dream is research, then Polygence is the right place. Ianu (Sebastian Nicolae Vaia), my child, has the scholarship, we would never have been able to afford this program and we are grateful for that. It is very different from what a high school student who is only 16 years old usually does. It is also different from the Olympiads, from physics in Ianu's case. It is something much more complex and requires thousands of pages read in a short time, synthesis capacity, creativity, intelligence at least at the level of MENSA. The mentor matters a lot, and Sannah B is what Ianu needed. He is just a little distrustful of publishing individual research or just scared by the reviews that say that most are rejected, although, in the absence of official statistics, I do not think that statement is true. However, Polygence is a memorable experience that greatly raised Ianu's level and opened his path to research. In September, he will also participate in the Polygence Symposium.

Thank you so much for sharing Ianu’s experience. We’re glad his work with Sannah has strengthened his skills and opened a path toward research. He should be incredibly proud of all he has accomplished, and we look forward to seeing him at the Symposium this September!
