Mentors needed for 2018 BioExpo

The planning for the 2018 BioExpo is now underway!
The Expo is a program for High School students to "show what they know and are able to do" in biotechnology, biomedicine and bioethics. Teachers and students are now enrolling in the Expo. See the NWABR website for more details.  
 
One of the unique features of Expo is that we pair an Expo student with a mentor from the scientific community.   We are currently enrolling mentors. If you are interested please sign up using this link.
 
If you have any questions about the Expo please contact Janis Wignall, BioExpo Manager.
