GEP’s video entry, “Democratizing Genomics Research Experiences in a Pandemic,” had over 1,100 views! We greatly appreciate everyone that liked and shared our video to help us spread the word about our incredible partnership.
Congratulations to Dr. Vida Mingo, who is featured in the Personal Genetics Education & Dialogue’s (PGED’s) Community Spotlight for his work to deliver genetics education to a broad range of audiences.
The Midwest Node hosted a virtual Student Research Symposium on Thursday, May 8, 2025 via Zoom. Nine undergraduate students presented their research on the Pathways and Parrot Projects, with six GEP faculty in attendance. This meeting provided an opportunity for students and faculty to connect through discussion of research projects and for faculty to plan for the future of the Node. Dr. Jennifer Mierisch and Dr. Sarah Justice, Midwest Node Co-Leaders, moderated the sessions.
The Southeast Regional Node Spring Virtual Symposium was a success with 10 attendees from three institutions (Mercer University, The University of Alabama, and Louisiana State University).
This mixed-methods descriptive study provides an overview of the GEP virtual learning assistant (LA) program, and it describes the quantitative data gathered about the scope and use of the program.
