New York City students protested on Tuesday, March 11, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University pro-Palestinian activist detained by ICE. The demonstrations involved a Columbia University sit-in, a large gathering at Washington Square Park, a march through Lower Manhattan, and resulted in arrests at City Hall.
Skylar Celeste Boone Registration is now open for HudsonAlpha’s summer student programs in Dothan. Two programs will be offered this summer: Code of Life and BioSkills. No prerequisites are necessary for these programs.
“DNA is the foundation of all living things, and a deeper understanding of it can open doors to advanced studies, careers in genomics and biotechnology, and informed health decisions for all,” said Dean Mitchell, director of HudsonAlpha Wiregrass.Code of Life is a week-long, half-day camp for rising 6th-9th graders that provides a foundational introduction to DNA. Young scientists begin the program by extracting DNA from a variety of organisms and end the week with a little genetic engineering. Students learn how the information coded in DNA influences physical traits and investigate how changes in DNA may cause the symptoms of some genetic disorders. People are also reading… High school students will learn about genetic engineering and how it’s used in BioSkills. In this class, students perform a series of steps to create a new DNA molecule carrying genes of interest. Once inside a bacterial cell, these genes produce a fluorescent protein that students will purify and take home as a souvenir. BioSkills helps students understand what genes do and how they can be manipulated by genetic engineering, exposing them to common processes in research labs. “This is an exciting time for the Wiregrass, with exceptional learning opportunities like these. I have no doubt these programs will be in high demand and expect there to be a lot of interest in participating,” said Mitchell. Both programs will be led by HudsonAlpha instructors and will be held at Dothan High School. Limited space is available.

Scholarship applications for both programs will be open until March 31.Skylar Celeste Boone Follow Skylar Celeste Boone Close Get email notifications on {{subject}} daily!
