Honored to be recognized as the Outstanding Biology Teacher for TN by the National Association of Biology Teachers and present with my colleague from Colorado at the annual conference in Anaheim, CA this year.
Recombinant DNA and Transformation the past couple weeks in AP Bioโ first by modeling then by doing. Always a great day in lab when you get those genetically modified glowing bacteria!๐งซ๐
Lots going on in AP Bio recently- modeling photosynthesis, determining solute potential of potatoes, and analyzing surface area to volume ratios of cells ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฌ
HUGE congratulations to Jason for being selected as a Scholar in the Regeneron Science Talent Search! 300 students were selected from just under 2000 for this honor. His research is impressive and can't wait to see where it takes him!
Visual of the genetic diversity resulting from meiosis and random fertilizationโSome beautifully different chromosome zygotes created by honors bio today! ๐งฌ
From modeling recombinant plasmids to successful bacterial transformations, itโs been a great two weeks in AP Bio! Students genetically modified E. coli, inserting the bioluminescent gene from jellyfish to make glowing bacteria ๐งซ!
