Outreach work by the MMC Student Chapter of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is featured in this month’s issue of ASBMB Today.

This month’s issue of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology magazine, ASBMB Today, features a prominent story on the science outreach efforts of our Student Chapter of the ASBMB. The ASBMB is a national organization that sponsors a Student Chapters Outreach Grant Program to help undergraduate chapter members host science outreach activities in their local communities. The MMC Student Chapter won one of only four grants awarded nationwide by the ASBMB in Fall 2019. With this funding, our students hosted their second annual “I Heart Boobies!” event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in conjunction with the Keep A Breast Foundation.

Safety Precautions and Synchronous Learning: MMC Laboratories in the Time of COVID

As MMC worked to reopen its Main Campus for the Fall 2020 semester, the Department of Natural Sciences developed a plan to continue performing in-person laboratory courses while also accommodating remote learners. MMC’s science labs underwent extensive safety reinforcement to allow in-person students to participate in labs with their remote partners learning from home.
