The Genetics of Human Disease
Whitehead Institute's 2009-2010 Lecture Series for
High School Teachers
"The seminar series has been and continues to be a superb connection
between
educators and research. It allows teachers to not only keep themselves
current, but also the opportunity to meet and talk with leading
scientists.
The excitement generated at the seminar sessions directly translates to
excitement in the classroom.”
