Student Outreach

OEB is committed to bringing biology into local classrooms, with a focus on urban students who are rarely able to experience the outdoors. Thus far, we have done so through presentations and demonstrations about the diversity of local animals, plants, and microbes, and how they interact within food webs. These opportunities advance our teaching skills and reminds us why we chose science as a career, since many of us were inspired during our childhood and teenage years by motivated science teachers and mentors. We hope to raise the interest of young scientists and broaden their view about the outside world. Please feel free to contact us for more information (Laura Parfrey and Sharlene Santana).
