The availability of online resources has boomed in recent years, spurred on by the remote working surge during the pandemic. Some topics are more easily adapted to online than other topics, and lab work can be particularly tricky. That is why I approached the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research (NIBRT) ...
Chemical and Engineering News is not a journal I read very often, but a recent article titled “Help wanted in biomanufacturing” definitely caught my eye. Successes within the R&D and business fronts of life sciences companies have pushed technologies to commercial-scale production facilities. But there aren’t enough technicians to operate ...
Genetics has been traditionally taught in the high school with Gregor Mendel and his pea plants. But the staff at the Science Education Partnership (SEP) at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center believe that today's high schoolers really want to know the science behind race, racism, and genetics. And high school ...
