- Want your class to be part of a real scientific study? A team at the Huntsman Cancer Institute is providing a skin cancer prevention program (SHINE) as a part of a research study in Utah high schools. SHINE will come (twice) to your class to present as part of the study. Please contact the SHINE coordinator, Nic Siniscalchi at 801-213-6131 or nic.siniscalchi@hci.utah.edu for more information or to discuss having SHINE come to your class.
- We invite you and your students to our 7th annual SLC Brain Bee, a chapter of the National Brain Bee, at the University of Utah this academic year on February 26th 2022, 9am-3pm. This is a fun, competitive event where students (aged 13-19) investigate neuroscience topics through brain awareness modules, complete a multiple choice quiz and a practical (real brains) neuroanatomy fill in the blank quiz, as well as interacting with graduate students and faculty at the University of Utah with a free lunch provided!
