Summer Workshops in Genetics

Hosted by BSCS Science Learning

Do you teach middle or high school biology students about genetics? Are you interested in learning how genetics education could affect the development of students’ racial biases? If so, BSCS Science Learning invites you to participate in an upcoming study (winter/spring 2021), exploring whether learning about the multifactorial causes of human variation reduces racial bias among students. Middle and high school biology teachers will be prepared for this study through a free five-day institute in summer 2020.

CDC Science Ambassador Regional Training Workshops: Teaching Tomorrow’s Disease Detectives

The regional training workshops are modeled on the CDC Science Ambassador Fellowship one-week training, only shorter. The two days are filled with interactive sessions in which middle-and high-school teachers and education leaders learn strategies to teach public health concepts and inspire interest in public heath careers.

Public health topics covered during the workshops could include:

• Applied epidemiology: Investigating an outbreak like a disease detective
• Infectious disease: Pandemic influenza, One Health, and zoonotic disease
• Global health: The global HIV epidemic
• Population health: The opioid overdose epidemic and the obesity epidemic
• Environmental Health: Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
• Public health careers: The path to becoming a CDC disease detective

Registration is now open for the February 27 & 28 workshop in Phoenix, Arizona. Register today at https://www.cdc.gov/careerpaths/scienceambassador/regional-trainings.html. Additional locations will be announced soon!
