🔬Evidence-based program helps students see themselves as scientists.
🌊SAFS Prof. Jose Guzmán wanted to help bridge the gaps that undergraduates faced in participating in research, and that graduate students faced in mentoring. And so, the IBIS program was born.

🧬Brb, busy genetic metabarcoding!
🔬Arial (PhD) & Mollie (BS) were in the lab barcoding DNA in a manner that allows for the simultaneous identification of many taxa within the same sample.
🐋🦭Why? To study marine mammals, including Cook Inlet beluga whales & Arctic bearded seals.

🐟🧪 What brought a group of high schoolers to SAFS to teach a lesson on Pacific salmon and chemicals?
👩🏫 It started in 9th grade biology class with an interest in local research, and led to designing a lesson plan on the effects of 6PPD-quinone on salmon.
