Hi. If you're at the BCCE and considering talks for Thursday morning, please consider coming to my talk at 10:15 in MAK A1117 (Erin Wasserman). I will be talking generally about high school enrichment programs with a big focus on the practical side of how to set up and run a science research program. You'd be surprised at how an authentic research experience can imapct a young kid! I have video, interviews with mentors and past students, pictures, curriculum breakdown, and literature reviews. I hope to see you there.

HS Science Research
Hi Erin,
I wish I was at BCCE and could attend your talk but unfortunatlely I could not go this year. I am very interested in starting a high school chemistry research course and would love to see your presentation. It would be great if you could share them with me after your presentation.
High School Research
At the BCCE, I made a presentation describing the Advanced Chemical Research program at Laguna Beach High School. My program is a full-year class in which HS seniors pursue original research projects in teams. Thus far, we have published two papers (featuring 18 student authors) in peer-reviewed journals. Our biggest accomplishment has been the development of a polymer-based antivenom that neutralizes cobra toxins. For more information, visit my website: http://www.lbusd.org/Page/416
