A paper describing the activities of our GK-12 project was accepted for presentation at the 108th Annual American Society for Microbiology general meeting in Boston. The poster presentation detailed the development, implementation, and assessment of district-wide molecular biology classroom activities. A section of the poster included data generated from student research projects. All five GK-12 fellows were included as authhors. An abstract of the presentation can be found here. Fellow Ingrid Caton presented a poster on her research activities, including extensive rRNA clone libraries of bacteria and archaea from Great Salt Plains soils. An abstract can be found here.
