Our signature week-long Bio-Bench Teacher Workshop happens tomorrow at our BRDG Park location - WE ARE EXCITED!!!

Generously sponsored by Bayer Fund, in partnership with National Corn Growers Association and EducationProjects.org 🌾 🌱 👩‍🔬

Themed ag-biotech , we are learning about corn dissection, GDD (Growing Degree Days), making and testing ethanol - SAY WHAT?!?! 🤔 💡 AND...advanced biotechnology techniques such as plasmid modeling, bacterial transformation, DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and moving genes to name a few. It's going to be awesome!

Molecular cloning is a basic technique in molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories. It is a useful tool to study a gene, modify the gene, reintroduce the modified gene into the natural host or another host, or to produce protein.

99.9% of the DNA in all humans is identical. It is the tiny difference that allows us to be individuals. If we unraveled the entire DNA in a human, it would stretch 10 billion miles. That would be the same as a return trip to Pluto. 🍓 🧬 😷

📢 APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED for the Bio-Bench Teacher Workshop Cohort 2021 to July 23, 2021 - a great professional development opportunity, open to public-, private-, and home-school middle/high school science teachers.
