Frequently Asked Questions

 

Science Scope
A semi-annual forum on a headline topic in biomedical science.

Fifth and sixth grade science teachers are invited to hear about the hottest topics in scientific research - directly from the men and women who are conducting that research! Twice a year, BOOST will bring accomplished, dynamic experts to present on topics ranging from gene therapy and lasers, to biomedical engineering and regeneration of bones and nerves. These interactive presentations will include question-and-answer time, as well as small group sessions to discuss how to creatively teach this new information. Science Scope will be held Duke on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lunch is provided; teachers will be compensated for this time.
