Summer Biology Experience for High School Students sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute During the summer of 2001 the Georgia Tech School of Biology offers Light and Life, an intensive three-week summer biology experience for high school students with strong interests in the biological sciences.
Students participate in lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on experiments.
The subject core of the program is the study of living systems ranging from molecular biology to ecology. Techniques used in modern biotechnology, such as DNA restriction mapping, are covered both in lectures and laboratory experiments. Field trips to local sites are included in ecology experiments. Session dates Two identical three-week sessions of Light and Life will be offered this summer. Instructors Light and Life is taught by Georgia Tech research faculty in the School of Biology.
