The final meeting of the Biology club was on April 15, which was a field trip to Taconic Biosciences<\/strong>. Students were given a tour of the facilities, including their microbiology, molecular biology, flow cytometry and necropsy labs, as well as the mouse breeding\/housing facilities. Workflow and a typical workday were discussed. Students also got an opportunity to talk to some of the facility managers and learn about their summer internship opportunities.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank all the students who participated in these two events.<\/p>\n

The club advisors would also like to thank Ethan S. Mash,<\/strong> whose interest led to the establishment of this club, and who was the president of the club for the past two semesters. Ethan is graduating this spring, and we wish him all the best!<\/p>\n

Students interested in being part of the club for Fall of 2024, should contact the club advisors.<\/p>\n

Good luck to all students for the final few weeks of the semester!<\/p>\n

Drs. Kadaba and Dasgupta.<\/p>\n
