Blair Paulik discussing toxicology in the classroom<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n

Blair Paulik and Jamie Minick, both SRP Trainees working on their PhDs in Dr. Kim Anderson\u2019s lab (Project<\/a> 4<\/a>), traveled to McNary High School in the Salem, OR area on April 10th<\/sup> to teach students about environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

This opportunity was initiated when a teacher from McNary contacted the Community Outreach & Engagement Core of the Environmental Health Sciences Center<\/a> (EHSC). The opportunity was then given to the Department of Environmental & Molecular Toxicology\u2019s graduate student organization, TEAM Tox<\/a>. This is a great way for grad students to get out into classrooms.<\/p>\n

Blair and Jamie\u2019s interactive presentation highlighted where environmental pollution comes from, why environmental pollution is of concern, how humans are exposed to pollutants, and how scientists at Oregon State University are studying pollutants in the environment.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, Blair and Jamie taught 129 high school students from six different classes including chemistry, biology, and environmental science. The students showed genuine interest in the subject matter, asking questions about specific environmental pollutants and about science and college in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
