Mrs. Weiner ~ Genetics in the News

 This assignment is designed to help you make relevant connections between your current study of biology and how genetics can profoundly influence the quality of our lives and the environment in which we live.  This investigation into current events involving genetics will require connections to content details we have been studying over the last several weeks.  See class handout for additional guidelines.

It is recommended that you utilize our collection of academic databases to access news articles and scholarly journals. You will need the username/password given to you earlier this year (sticker handout).  Databases can be filtered by date to limit to the past 6 months.
