University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences Education Outreach will host a weeklong summer workshop to introduce teachers to our new curriculum, "StarNet: Investigating the Effects of Genes and Environment on Smoking Behavior." The Investigating Smoking Behavior curriculum places high school students in the role of scientists as they conduct authentic research on the effects of genes and environment on smoking behavior.

More information on the curriculum is available here. Be sure to apply by May 2nd for this great opportunity. Teachers completing the workshop will receive a $350 stipend. 40 WSTA clock hours or 3 UW graduate credits are available at the teacher's expense. Registration forms can be downloaded here.
