AMP-IT-UP Teachers Participate in Gulf of Mexico Research Expedition

Teachers Assist with ECOGIG Research Relevant to AMP-IT-UP Ocean Ecology Classroom Modules

November 1, 2017

Two Griffin-Spalding County teachers visited the Gulf with ECOGIG to assist with research and collect water samples.

AMP-IT-UP teachers Cheryl Wilder and Kathy Duke from Griffin-Spalding County schools participated in an ECOGIG research cruise to the Gulf of Mexico. The cruise provided the teachers with real-world experiences that they will apply in the classroom, where they have been teaching their seventh graders three AMP-IT-UP modules on ocean ecology.

"Deciphering the Deep: Microbial 'Dark Matter' Under the Sea" - Jennifer Glass, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech

The Petit Institute Breakfast Club seminar series was started with the spirit of the Institute's interdisciplinary mission in mind and started to feature local Petit Institute faculty member's research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but rarely present at their home institution, this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. The Petit Institute Breakfast Club is open to anyone in the bio-community.
