Education
Participatory Science
We offer hands on courses and workshops on Genomics at various levels of training. Our introductory courses last for 3 hours while short term projects and activities last from days to a week. In addition, we present a series of education seminars/symposiums exploring the genome. Some courses include field trips – Location may vary depending upon the program. These experiences will allow participant(s) to be more aware of biological phenomenon which is explained in an easy to understand manner.
DNA BASICS
3 hours course. Recommended for students/Citizen Science Students.
In this session, participants will be provided an introduction to DNA science and learn how to extract and visualize DNA.
Organic or GMO?
4 hours Course. Recommended for Students/Citizen Scientists.
Participants bring samples for the identification of GMOs, organics and microbial contamination in food. Participants will learn how to extract DNA and use PCR to amplify DNA and use online resources to learn about the source and GMO content of food items.
