15th Annual Symposium on Biotechnology Education
Monday, March 29, 2010, 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Biology teachers are invited join us for a full-day symposium on current approaches to biotechnology education. This annual event is hosted by the Museum of Science, Boston.
The symposium is designed as a forum for middle school, high school, and community college educators to share ideas, classroom activities, and laboratory investigations. Leading researchers, biotechnology practitioners, and experienced teachers conduct sessions on a variety of current and advanced topics. Sessions are complemented by a keynote presentation, lunch discussions with industry partners, and networking opportunities.
For this year's keynote presentation, we welcome Professor Steven Reppert from the Department of Neurobiology at University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Reppert will discuss "Illuminating the Biology of Monarch Butterfly Migration." He visited the Museum recently and recorded both a podcast and videocast, which you can find on this page under "related offerings."
