A Wonderful Discovery: Maria Bongah, Aryan Shoaei, Alisha Rahman, and Iris Hoang-Dugan conduct experiment at Station 2. This station included activities such as swabbing different areas onto a petri dish, placing it into an incubator, and waiting for bacteria to grow. "Looking at the bacteria swabbed from the toilet that grew on the petri dish was kind of interesting," Rahman said.
On Saturday, September 28, Science National Honor Society hosted their first Young Biologist Program of the school year from 10 AM to 12 PM. Researchers from different universities such as Rice and Baylor University introduced students to microbiology. They performed 4 labs, each at different stations, for both Taylor and Kerr High School Science National Honor Society members. There were also mini-lectures in between the labs to help students have a better understanding.
