PowerPoint Presentation: A Career in Biomedical Sciences

Energetic alumnus Steven Lott, Ph.D. (1997), spearheaded a presentation he, Ann Killary, Ph.D. (1980), Yvonne Rodriguez, and Yan Xie, Ph.D. made recently to 150 fifth graders at Sylvan Rodriguez Elementary School.

Below: Spring 2006, Joan Breuer-McHam, Ph.D. (1999/Duvic) lead 4th graders at Sylvan Rodriguez Elementary School in her interactive lesson to teach them immunology basics. Since then, Dr. Breuer-McHam has been invited to present the lesson that she used to the Texas School Conference, and has turned the presentation into a manuscript “Bubbles, Giggles, Sparkles and Immunology” to be considered for publication by Science & Children.

They provided interactive experiments in conjunction with the national recognition of the 50th anniversary of James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of the structure of DNA.
