Tickborne diseases are on the rise, with the Connecticut Department of Public Health reporting about 3,000 cases yearly. After being diagnosed with two tickborne illnesses, Antonia Kolb, a recent graduate of King School in Stamford, developed DETICKT IT, a one-of-a-kind app to help identify ticks and assess their risks. Listen as Antonia shares her experience as a student researcher and what it took to create the app. Antonia is joined by her research advisor, Victoria Schulman, to discuss how she navigates the student/advisor relationship and how high school research benefits students.
