Education Outreach Programs WABR was founded a decade ago to educate the public on the value of biomedical research for the health of both humans and animals. The past ten years have been a magnificent implementation of that goal.
Biomedical research is a commitment to life.
Much remains to be done. In addition to the services WABR provides, a wealth of outstanding Education Outreach Programs exist in Washington State and around the country to assist teachers in preparing for the challenges they face in the classroom. The goal is to encourage young women to take science and math courses in middle and high school and to consider careers in science, engineering, and math. A hardcopy edition of the guide is also available. UW trains teachers during a one week summer institute, and Washington State University-Vancouver provides knowledgeable personnel when needed.
