Biomedical Sciences III

For next year’s incoming seniors, the popular Biomedical Science I and II classes will be continued with a brand-new Biomed III option. “[Biomed III] focuses on this concept of collaborative research,” Skinner said

Biomed III will be supervised by Engineering teacher Ms. Kirsten Hoogenakker, though the class will be predominantly independently run by the students. “It’s totally dependent on the type of research questions that students ask…students will be asking an academic research question, just like running your own mini-lab for the year. At the end of the school year, we’ll have a poster symposium, so it gives students experience with what academic research looks, which should give them a leg up for finding research once they get into college,” Hoogenakker said.
