Celebrating this amazing group of teachers and TA’s who made our second year BIORETS program successful and memorable. They will take their new curriculum based on EvolvingSTEM.org and their own research back to Pittsburgh Public Schools grades 6-12 this year

Welcome to our second cohort of our @NSF BIORETS teachers who will be learning our program and then building an inquiry driven curriculum that fits their classrooms grades 7-12. We are evolving STEM! @PPSnews

Our Specific Aims are: 1. Assess program impacts on subject learning and STEM attraction in majority URM/economically disadvantaged classes 2. Reinforce curriculum accessibility and its relevance to medicine, public health, and data science

We are delighted and honored to be awarded an R25 Science Education Partnership Award from @NIAIDFunding entitled "EvolvingSTEM: authentic classroom research curriculum to enhance inclusion and agency in modern life science." Been a long haul to get here, but so worth it!

Update! Forgot to include our new partner at @unevadareno Deanna Colton 🦠🧬

Look 👀 how much we've grown! 20+ high schools and 10+ colleges/universities Learn key concepts and skills of evolution, heredity, population biology, microbiology, biotechnology with an authentic experiment in your classroom. Join us! evolvingstem.org

Look at this beautiful figure! @JEInvestigators cc: @ASantosLopez @SirMicrobe

Delighted by the opportunity to share our #microbiology #evolution in action program with a community of education innovators at #TRETC2023

Full of thanks & admiration for these @PPSnews teachers who excelled in creative bacterial evolution experiments this summer, now ready to lead students to do the same. Impossible w/out leadership and passion of Dr Abigail Matela and support from @vscooper lab @PittHealthSci
