On June 3, 2024, almost 100 Columbus City Schools teachers visited OSU as part of the week-long STEAMM Rising program. The visitors spent the first day rotating through 4 different activities, including BioEYES at Rightmire Hall. The teachers performed some of the same activities and observations as students do during a BioEYES visit. It was fantastic to interact with these engaged teachers and start thinking about how to collaborate in the future. Thanks to Clare Austin, Tom Gallagher, and Gina Nostramo for helping Sharon Amacher run the event – we appreciate how the Molecular Genetics community engages with our broader community!
