Georgia Life Sciences Workforce Update & Call for Volunteers

The Georgia Life Sciences team has been on the road traveling from Plains to Columbus to Savannah over the last week talking life science careers! We hosted booths and made presentations at the Georgia Science Supervisors Association and Georgia Science Teachers Association Conference and at the Healthcare Science Technology Educators Association conference.

Additionally, Georgia Life Sciences partnered with miniPCR to host five teachers at our Equipment Depot in Tucker for a workshop on miniPCR's Protein Expression and Purification lab. After the workshop, participants were invited to "shop" in the warehouse and took home supplies that will benefit over 1600 students.

This weekend Georgia Life Sciences is holding our regional in-person biotech teacher training workshop at Chattahoochee Technical College in Canton. The final in-person workshop for this year will be March 14 and 15 at Southern Regional Technical College in Thomasville. We are still seeking industry speakers and onsite volunteers for these workshops. Please reach out to Megan Heaphy (MHeaphy@galifesciences.org) if interested.
