Teacher takes part in science program
Joan Chaiten of Shorecrest High School is one of more than two dozen science teachers working this summer beside scientists in research laboratories at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and several other partner sites throughout Seattle.
The summer workshop, which runs July 10-26, hosts teachers from more than two dozen communities throughout the state and abroad.
Working in labs at the Hutchinson Center and partnering local academic-research institutions and biotechnology firms, this year’s cadre of teachers will update and hone their lab techniques and teaching strategies in life sciences, particularly genetics and molecular biology.
