Happy 🌎 Day from @VHS_ScienceNHS ! Some of our members took a little time to clean up trash around our @VHS_BlueDevils campus! We made a small dent in the amount of trash we saw, but its a little less trash that gets in our waterways!💛😈💙 @VHS_PrincipalCS @VHS_Science @kyambio

Thx to our new MiniOne Electrophoresis systems, my AP Bio kids were able to create & view 🧬 fingerprints in 1 class period (old ways = 2 classes). Now they just have to determine if their patient has a genetic form of hypercholesterolemia 🤔 @ap_vhs @HenricoScience @VHS_Science

RIP Coach Woody!
