I served as the 1999 Site Coordinator and 2000 Director of this competition for high school students from around the country. As Site Coordinator I arranged room reservations and assignments for all contestants, proctors, and judges. As Director I was responsible for delegating (not entirely successfully) or otherwise personally arranging all things concerning the tournament, from obtaining scholarships and purchasing awards to housing and staffing crises (my 2000 Site Coordinator dropped the ball). MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition . I suppose it's about time I joined the $50K. I'm the incoming Endowment Team Lead. Gotta match a $500K donation, else we can't touch the income stream... So alums (yeah you, I know you're here via OpenDoor!), if you want to invest in the future of MIT, a great way to ensure capital efficiency is to earmark your money for an organization with a track record like the $50K's. If you're wondering why we need an endowment, you might want to read President Vest's recent assessment of the Institute's financial straits MIT Alternative Spring Break , March 25-31, 2001.

Problem Solving In Genetic Disorders is to teach and inform. This activity can be used concurrently with the activities, One + One = One by Dorothy Josephine Cox and The Genetics of Parenthood http://www.woodrow.org/teachers/bi/1994/problem_solving.html
Extractions: 1994 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute Students often do not see the relevancy of what they learn in school. Knowledge and skills learned in the classroom are not transferred to their everyday life. This activity uses the unit of genetics to cover such concern. Genetics is not only for the scientists, it concerns us all. As knowledge and technology grow more diverse, diagnostic tests and treatment of illnesses are increasingly available in extending the longevity and quality of life. It is important for us to be knowledgeable and to be effective decision makers, and our understanding of both classical and modern genetics gives us the means to do so. All of us can attribute our finer characteristics to genetic lineage. We also may encounter the adverse effects of inheritance in different members of our family, friends and acquaintances. Our basic understanding of genetics answers these questions about our genetic heritage. This activity uses case histories to study genetic disorders and it tests students' knowledge of heredity. These case studies reinforce their understanding of genetic principles. A. Knowledge

Extractions: Notes to the Teacher: to top These series of reading, writing, and speaking activities may serve as a culminating project or as review in preparation for an examination. Students need to have a working knowledge of the terms associated with the following topics: human genetics, evolution, human reproduction and development. Students need to be aware of current trends and methods utilized in scientific research. The first time the teacher tries these activities, I recommend that the teacher choose a short article no longer than 2 typed pages. The article should contain specific information on a disease that is relevant to her class' community. On the whole, g enetic diseases are interesting and exciting for students to read about and they provide excellent sources of information to captivate students.

Extractions: In the course of mounting the exhibition " The Genomic Revolution ," the American Museum of Natural History's Department of Education formed the Genomics Study Group. This group of science teachers and science administrators met once a month over the past year to review exhibition materials and plans for the Learning Lab , as well as to discuss the broader issues involved in teaching genomics. Some of the teachers came to the study group through the Gateway Institute for Pre-college Education, and others were Museum workshop participants or teachers who had conducted genetics-related activities in their classrooms. The Gateway Institute is a set of minischools in nine New York City public schools targeted at minority and low-income students interested in careers in medicine, science, engineering, and health care. Gateway's affiliation with the Museum has been growing for several years. They are also longtime partners with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Cold Spring, New York. Dr. Morty Slater, Director of the Gateway Institute, declares that "a knowledge of the genome is essential for people to make decisions about their lives. Without a basic education in genomics, we're leaving people unprepared for the future. We're committed to making this material available to high school students on a high-quality level, but we still need to figure out how to get these ideas into the curriculum in at least the next couple of years." So many of the major advances in genomic science have occurred since the new

Extractions: Making Sense of Biotechnology in Agriculture This leaders' guide helps you teach children and youth about the wonders and complexity of life, from the smallest one-celled protozoan to the multi-billion-celled human, in the context of agriculture and biotechnology. It can be used with participants ages 5 to 18. Information on how to use this guide is found on the following pages. This book is produced by National 4-H Council's Environmental Stewardship program. The program encourages youth to make a commitment to use natural resources responsibly for the sake of their communities and the world around them. Environmental Stewardship curricula provide a sound ecological context for knowledge. They also help youth examine their own and others' values and opinions about contemporary issues. Investigation, evaluation, critical thinking, and judgment skills are emphasized. The New Biotechnology Do you ever wonder how life works? How something like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that is so similar among organisms could give rise to such vast diversity? How frogs could be green, blue, pink, red, orange, and multicolored? How jellyfish could be so spineless and porcupines so prickly? How fungi could glow in the dark and hackberry have such bumpy bark? The answer is mostly in the genes. Genetics and diversity are the backbone of a very old and very new field known as biotechnology. The word

Extractions: Many genetic counselors teach, either as clinical supervisors and lecturers for counselors and other medical professionals still in training, or by providing public and professional education in their communities. Two UCI graduates direct genetic counseling training programs, and many others supervise counselors during their clinical training. A small proportion work in clinical or research genetics laboratories, sometimes actually performing tests, but more commonly as service coordinators and liaisons between the laboratory and referring health providers. A few of our alumnae/i coordinate state or regional genetics programs and are involved in planning, implementation and formulation of public policy. There are numerous opportunities for genetic counselors to become involved in regional and national activities through professional genetics organizations such as the NSGC, the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), the American College of Medical Genetics, and regional genetics networks. Some counselors consult or volunteer for advocacy groups, such as the Genetic Alliance or March of Dimes, and many may themselves facilitate support groups
