Description
Laboratory session with St. Peter's girls students to improve visibility of women in STEM and career pathways in research. Students extracted their DNA and quantified the amount present. Discussion ensued as to the source of the DNA (mouth, skin, nose) and whether a pattern in the location and DNA quantity emerged that made sense to them. We also discussed research projects currently occurring, and the potential impact that our work has 'in real life'
