Project update: October 2024

We successfully delivered a new course, Metabarcoding for Microbial Ecology, with a strong turnout of 6 participants who ranged in age from middle school students to working professionals. We are just now getting the sequencing data from their experiments and are excited to see what microbes are in their samples.  This week, we also started the second iteration of our CRISPR course, with two new volunteer instructors bringing their creative and engaging spin to the curriculum we developed earlier this year. We are also on track to deliver a fourth new course in early 2025. This course will focus on biochemistry and biosynthesis.
