Ant Camp: UVM High School Outreach Program in Genetics
Interested in genetics? Join us for a week-long summer learning and training course at Ant Camp 2012. You’ll learn the concepts of modern genetics and how researchers use genetic tools to test hypotheses, from family structure to species relationships, using ants as a model organism. After a week of immersion training, you’ll be ready in a self-directed challenge project at your own high school.
