Biologist Julia Bartel and PhD candidate Christian Maugee did a zoom presentation for Northeast High School in December 2024. This was parts of the Thompson Earth Systems Institute- Scientist in Every Florida Classroom. This program aims to educate kids K-12 on the different possibilities in careers in science they may wish to pursue. Julia spoke about the different options they have after graduation, including Clinical, industry, and Academia. She also showed the students what she does in the lab and taught them about cell cultures. Christian spoke about his journey in becoming a graduate student and about his current research project that uses the CRISPR. The presentation was very well received, and they have both been asked to do another presentation in spring on 2D and #d Cell Culture.
