#GEPstories #ScienceEducation

For nearly two decades, the GEP has given thousands of students the chance to do real genomics research—often for the first time.

We know the impact has been huge… but we need your voice to tell that story.

The GEP helps faculty embed real genomics research into their courses. Students don’t just study genes—they discover new ones.

That’s science education with impact.

#Genomics #ScienceTeaching #WhyGEP

From its origins at WashU to today’s faculty-led GEP 2.0, our mission stays the same:

Empower undergraduates to do real research—and build a more inclusive future in STEM.
#GEPgenomics #EquityInScience

Our model is simple but powerful:
💡 Real research
🧬 Open-access tools & training
🤝 Support for faculty & students

It’s research education that works—whether you’re at a small college or an R1.

Today, the GEP spans 200+ colleges and universities across the U.S.

Thousands of students have annotated genes, published discoveries, and started to see themselves as scientists.
#InclusiveSTEM #ScienceEducation

We’re proud to be part of a community that blends innovation with impact—bringing genomics research into classrooms nationwide.

Here’s to another great year of collaboration and discovery! 💡

Special thanks to our keynote speakers for sparking rich discussion:

🧬 @shaunmahony.bsky.social showed how neural networks can help us understand where transcription factors bind in the genome—by looking at both the DNA sequence and the surrounding chromatin environment.
