Coastal Marine Biolabs in Ventura Harbor is hosting two eigh t-day summer institutes in biodiversity genomics for 11th and 12th grade h igh school science teachers. The institute provides teachers with the peda gogical and procedural training\, instructional materials\, and equipment needed to engage their students in the International Barcode of Life proje ct\, a global initiative to create a digital genetic registry of EarthR 17\;s biodiversity using a DNA barcoding system.

\n

Funded by the Nat ional Science Foundation\, the summer institutes are offered free of charg e.  Additionally\, $1000 stipends are provided to participants to help def ray the cost of travel expenses.

\n

Developed through a collaboration among academic research scientists and educators\, the program curriculum is supported by a comprehensive suite of instructional materials that bri dges many life science domains\, including ecology\, environmental science \, evolution\, genetics\, molecular\, cellular\, and developmental biology \, and bioinformatics. In addition to its integration of content\, process es\, and principles from different scientific domains\, the curriculum eng ages students in the use of interrelated scientific tools within the conte xt of a complete and integrated workflow. This discovery pipeline culminat es in the submission and publication of real data to a landmark scientific initiative of global significance.

\n

Two 8-day institutes will be h eld in summer 2012:
