MI DNA Day is an annual event where scientists visit local high schools to present interactive, hands-on lessons about genetics, genomics, and biotechnology. MI DNA Day provides a unique opportunity for high school students to meet and interact with young scientists, which often clarifies misconceptions of what a scientist looks like and breaks down barriers for students to follow scientific career paths. Scientist ambassadors also discuss their own ongoing research with students and share exciting career opportunities in science and biotechnology. Moreover, MI DNA Day allows early-career scientists to share their passion for science with students, fostering a spirit of public engagement leading to continued participation in science outreach throughout their careers. Learn more and sign-up to get involved at our website- link in bio!
We are excited to announce our 3rd recruitment season for science ambassadors! We are looking for scientists to visit local high schools and lead hands on lessons in genetics. Choose a learning module and one day on, or around, April 25th (National DNA Day) to make your visit. Link to sign-up in bio! #scienceoutreach #scicomm
