Summer 2021 New Offering Virtual Research Camp

Author: Amy Stark

While we remain quite disappointed that there are no in-person opportunities this summer, we are excited about our new Gene Expression Research camp. This camp does not require any previous genetic knowledge, but is PERFECT for our alum summer campers that might want to take their DNA Center experience to the next level! The skills and experiments done in this camp can potentially be used for science project development or other independent research projects. Please email Dr. Stark if you have more questions.…

Spring Field Trip Update

Author: Amy Stark

As of March 11, 2020, the University of Notre Dame has suspended all in-class instruction through April 13 for pubic health reasons related to COVID19. The DNA Learning Center is a hands-on instruction center, therefore we will not host any field trips  in that time window. If you had previously scheduled a field trip prior to April 13, we will work with you to figure out if we can accommodate another date or if we will need to wait until next year. If you have a field trip scheduled after April 13, we are waiting until the week of April 3 to hear what guidance the University of Notre Dame will have regarding in-person instruction. …

Support the DNA Center on Notre Dame Day

Author: Amy Stark

During the Annual Notre Dame Day, the University is giving away $1 million dollars based on the votes collected by groups across campus. For a $10 gift to the DNA Center, you get 5 votes. Last year, each vote was worth ~14 so a $10 gift results in ~$75 to the DNA Center. We use that money to subsidize lab costs and offer scholarships to our summer camps. DNA Day coincidentally overlaps with Notre Dame Day so we encourage you to combine the effect of these two days!…
