Thank you!

The GSSC Outreach Committee would like to thank everyone for making BRED such a success in its first year! We couldn't have done it withouth the support from The Biology Department at UIowa, IDT and all our volunteers. And of course, everyone who attended. Thank you!
We look forward to planning for next year's Biology Research Exploration Day!



For information on the 2010 BRED, see below:

The Biology Department at the University of Iowa is hosting a National Lab Day event, Biology Research Exploration Day, on April 24th,2010. This is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and talk to graduate students, faculty, and other scientists to learn about career opportunities in science research!
