阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's tstop program builds relationships with region's schools
through this program, teachers advance their scientific knowledge by taking part in leading-edge research alongside leading investigators and graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . teachers later disseminate this knowledge to their 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 via classroom lectures, a class trip to the host institution during the school year, and other related activities including school visits by the institution's scientists or graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
"essentially, this program gives us the opportunity to share exciting foundations of scientific study with elementary level teachers in the region," says dr. brian ross, associate professor of medicine, biology, chemistry, and public heath at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's northern ontario school of medicine. "it would be very difficult to allocate the financial resources to bring entire classrooms to our campus for this program; however, by bringing only the teacher, even from distant areas across the province, we can provide a hands-on scientific learning experience which he or she can later share with 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . the goal here is to generate more interest and excitement about various scientific fields, and i think the success of this summer's program will realistically help us accomplish that goal."
dr. ross, alongside two other lakehead professors, dr. neelam khaper and dr. marina ulanova, were integral in bringing the tstop program to the lakehead campus. through grant applications to the ministry of research and innovation, the professors secured $10,000 to cover expenses for jim horbow, the successful tstop applicant. horbow, a science teacher at sir winston churchill elementary school in thunder bay, enjoyed his learning experience so much that he prolonged his period of study for an extra week. he learned about the role of integrin receptors in regulation of cellular responses to oxidative stress and how this relates to human epithelial cancer cells. "this program demonstrated how highly focused medical research is at the northern ontario school of medicine at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ," says horbow. "by working closely with drs. ross, khaper, and ulanova, as well as various graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , i've developed some new curriculum ideas and have thought of new ways to generate and maintain interest among my student groups." horbow will show the products of his research to his 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 during the 2007-2008 academic year, and will visit the facility with some of his science 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
this summer, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is proud to be one of only 23 research institutions providing tstop research placements across ontario.
