Teachers: Join us for a full-day workshop on March 4, 2023 in Dallas, TX! In this hands-on workshop, we will share details about the 2023 Genes in Space competition and you will develop the skills you need to bring the cutting edge of biology and space exploration into your classroom. We will provide training in the use of the same molecular biology tools that are used to carry out Genes in Space experiments aboard the ISS, and introduce ways you can implement these tools with your students.
