FIELD TRIP TO THE HAUPTMAN-WOODWARD MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE This was a special meeting. We met in Dr. William Duax’s lab. Three students from City Honors High School presented their summer research to the parent PLC group. Dr. Duax runs a summer program that is open to BPS students, wherein high school students perform genetics and bioinformatics research at the institute. This provides the student with both theoretical knowledge as well as practice. It was announced after the presentation that students from any of the ISEP schools would be supported with a monetary stipend if they participate.
