The GEP Pathways Program taught me basic genomics, how to use databases like genome browsers, blast, and flybase, and how to do rigorous comparisons and annotations. It's a fantastic program and worth the attention and support. Check it out! 🤩

In 2005, a small team of researchers asked:
What if undergrads didn’t just learn genomics, but contributed to real discoveries?

That question launched the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP).

🛑 What if the GEP disappeared?
No more open-access genomics curriculum.
No more free tools, research projects, & training.
No more national community connecting 200+ institutions.

GEP faculty member @professorsawa.bsky.social on what gap the GEP fills in STEM education.

#GEPfaculty #GEPCUREs #GenomicsEducation #GEPgenomics
Text graphic reads: “What gap in STEM education does the GEP help you fill? ‘I teach at a California Community College. Participating in GEP research projects allows my students to get a taste of what it’s like to join a research lab. Something we don’t have on campus.’ ~Alexa Sawa. Learn more at thegep.org.”

What does a national research network look like?
📍 This map shows 209 active GEP institutions across the U.S. and its territories.

That’s 209 campuses where students are learning genomics by doing real research.

Undergrads learning real genomics?
Yes—through the Pathways Project.

The GEP provides:
• A gene annotation walkthrough
• A full YouTube video series
• All prerequisite curriculum materials
—all free and open-access.

What makes the GEP special? Hear what GEP alumna Kiersten Wienclawski has to say.
#GEPstudents #GEPCUREs #GenomicsEducation #STEMEducation
Q: “What’s one moment in GEP where you realized you were doing real science?” R: “Probably the first time I did a project as a student and began working on my very own gene, not just a practice gene, and when I learned that my final product of the research project was going to be reviewed and published by the GEP community.” ~Kiersten Wienclawski.
