Turlock High HOSA

What an incredible week of biotechnology professional development with high school science teachers from across Stanislaus County!

Through BABEC (Bay Area Bioscience Education Community) and BEAM Circular Bioeconomy, hosted at CSU Stanislaus, I had the opportunity to explore biotechnology careers, the circular bioeconomy, and hands-on laboratory skills that bring science to life for students.

We completed biotechnology labs including micropipetting, fermentation and yogurt production, PCR, gel electrophoresis, genomics, antibiotic testing, alginate pearl production, and batch record documentation. Even more exciting, teachers received biotechnology equipment and lab materials to take back to our classrooms, helping make these experiences accessible for students.

One highlight was a private tour of Divert in Turlock, where we learned how food waste is transformed into renewable natural gas and fertilizer through innovative biotechnology processes.

I am energized to integrate biotechnology, clinical laboratory skills, and career exploration opportunities into my classes, helping students discover the many pathways available in science, healthcare, and biotechnology.
