BABEC Presents: Alu PCR for a New Generation, December 8, 2018Show More
Join bioscience educators from across the Bay Area for a lively day of hands-on learning on Saturday, December 8
To what extent are we our DNA? How can human genetic variations help us understand our past? This workshop will be taught by Debbie Clark, biology & biotechnology teacher from Arroyo High School. She will help us answer these curious questions with our new NGSS-aligned retake on an 20-year old classic lesson by exploring the work of Barbara McClintock. You’ll get to isolate your own DNA and use PCR to identify your genotype for a “jumping gene” located in a non-coding region of your DNA. Then we will determine your genotype frequency and compare it with data from other people from around the world.
When: Saturday, December 8 2018. 8:30 am – 2:30 pm.
Where: CCSF Mission Campus, 1125 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110.
Who: High school and community college science teachers have priority for this workshop.
Extras: Breakfast, lunch, and a $100 stipend will be provided!
A $25 refundable fee is required to reserve a seat. It will be returned to you upon arrival.
Please forward this to your colleagues and new teachers! Thank-you & hope to see you there!
