Announcements 6/3/08 The Waksman Students Scholars Program Summer Institute for high school teachers and two of their students will begin at 9:00 AM on July 7 at the Waksman Institute. Parents are welcome to have breakfast with us and attend the first session to meet the WSSP staff and hear about the program. 6/3/08 We thank all the students, teachers, parents, and GE Healthcare employees who helped make the 2007 Waksman Forum Poster Session such a success!! 6/2/08 We are busy working on reviewing your sequences. Please check the DSAP to see if we have gotten to yours yet. 3/7/08 The sequences for the clones analyzed at the schools last fall have been posted!! We thank Anabela Brito and Hiten Shah from GE Healthcare for performing and arranging for the sequencing. 1/30/08 Remember to complete (submitted and verified by the WSSP staff) Practice Clones PC1 through PC5 on DSAP. Please check the status of your clones to be sure that you do not have to make corrections. Your analysis of new clones will stay on hold until you've completely finished all five of these practice clones. 1/18/08 There have been some reports of problems with DSAP using the Explorer 6 web browser. If you are having trouble connecting or it is very slow, try using Firefox or Safari. 10/24/07 Did you see the NJN News piece about the WSSP and BRITE programs that aired tonight? Great job! Thank you BRITE teachers and WSSP students! 10/1/07 Thank you to the Johnson and Johnson Foundation for their generous support of our academic year work. We've purchased state-of-the-art microcentrifuges that we'll loan out to schools involved with the 2007-2008 research project at our next follow up meeting in October. 8/1/07 The WSSP has obtained support from the Toshiba Foundation for the formation of an Equipment Lending Library. We have purchased pipetors, vortexers, microcentrifuges, thermal cyclers and agarose gel documentation systems for students to use in their high schools during the academic year. We thank the Toshiba Foundation for helping us to provide these resources to the schools involved in the project.
