What better way to celebrate #DNAday than by sharing my passion for genetics with students. I had a blast this morning leading the @ncdnaday forensics module at @the_kearnsacade. We isolated our own DNA and solved a mystery by comparing DNA sequences. So fun! 🧬
.@bkinney84 and I loved sharing our research with @cms_grizzlies middle school students in @MsBalezos’s & Ms. Fitzgerald’s classes today! Our @AldaCenter science communication training definitely came in handy. We hope we were able to help inspire a few future scientists! 🤓🧬🔬

Shout-out to our #WomenInSTEM participant @TMedwigKinney and her @Project_WORMS in the @chronicle #stonybrooku #representationmatters #DiversityinSTEM sponsored.chronicle.com/representation…
Pretty sure @TMedwigKinney will be a @stonybrooku Guiding Light someday - if she isn't already! Learn more about @Project_WORMS, her effort to inspire girls to consider #STEM careers Project funded by the #aldacenter #WomeninSTEM Leadership Program youtu.be/nBx2jG8djpM
On this #WomeninScienceDay I am excited to unveil @Project_WORMS! 🪱 This outreach project, funded by the @AldaCenter's Women in Science Leadership Program, is designed to promote recruitment of women & girls in science by bringing C. elegans research to local high schools. 👩🔬
