❤️ when family comes to school for @BioRadEducation Genes in a Bottle. Another FANTASTIC Nordonia science tradition! #notdoniarocks @JoeSuperintend1

First year trying CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing with MI Ss -- success! Edited a stop codon into lacZ gene and turned E. coli from blue to white. #crispr #biorad #possibilities

We also snuck in a little ELISA looking at pre Eclampsia in giant pandas - as you do on a cold December afternoon! @Habsmonmouth

Students in Ms. Kroll’s Biotechnology course are engineering their own gel electrophoresis apparatuses! They decided on materials for the electrode and predicted how different voltage affects outcomes. My favorite part-they extracted the dye from M&Ms. @WIHSLions @RomanelliPaul

This week, Biotech juniors and seniors inserted the pGLO plasmid into E.Coli. The pGLO plasmid is useful for genetic modification, containing the same glow gene as some jellyfish!

Students transformed bacteria and made them glow. BioRad’s pGLO bacterial transformation kit! ⁦@ChwkSecSch⁩ #sd33learns

I ❤️ when the first minute of class looks like this. Give them the tools, skills, and environment to be collaborative problem solvers. Day 1 of GMO Investigation. #nordoniabiotech @JoeSuperintend1 @ToddStuart1 @JessyArcher @BioRadEducation @edvotek

What a great first full day at #cascience22. Helped 30 people edit the genome of E.coli with CRISPR-Cas9 using @BioRadEducation ‘s Out of the Blue CRISPR kit. After hours got to find lots of local mushrooms due to the monsoon! Come see some of them in the booth tomorrow!

Thank you @BioRadEducation for sharing Damon with us. His training on your opioid lab kit could not have been more timely and needed. We look forward to implementing this in our classrooms @Colony_High.
