Tonight at 7PM: Join Us for a Panel on Eugenics!
|
|
In an effort to embrace the One School One Book:
Life in a Jar
, students in Mrs Cellini's H1 Genetics class organized a panel of faculty and staff to discuss eugenics and its effects on society.
As we move into an era where the technology to alter genomes exists, the topic eugenics becomes an important one.
This event is open to all students and parents. The panel will include: Dr Fitzgerald, Dr Walsh, Mr Forde, Mr Schmidlin, Ms Sheehan, and Mr Smith.
We hope will join us!
