  • Exploring Antibiotic Resistance in Various Bacterial Species

    Funded Aug 11, 2022

    We did it! Thank you so much for your love and support for the biomedical sciences. We will be starting the lab sometime in October and I’d love to send you all an update on how the lab goes! My freshmen will be dissecting sheep hearts in September so you can expect an update as well. Once again, I could not be my teacher best without you all!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Wong

  • Investigating the Relationship Between Sunscreen and Skin Cancer

    Funded Sep 16, 2021

    Thank you so much for helping fund my project. Using unicellular yeast as a model for skin cells, my Medical Interventions scholars were able to design an experiment to study the varying effects of how sunscreen protects the skin from mutations caused by UV radiation. Here are some testimonials from my own students:

    "I learned that reef-safe sunscreen is better than chemical based sunscreen, especially if the chemicals are harmful for reefs so it's better for both reefs and your skin if you use mineral/reef-safe sunscreen" - N.H.

    "I gained practical experience in working with yeast organisms, an important skill I will need if I am to pursue my ambition of becoming a researcher in molecular biology." - L.P.

    "Dear donors, i want to thank each and every one of you for helping this lab become a reality. My fellow students and I greatly appreciate this generosity that you have bestowed upon us." - E.N.

    "Dear Donors, Thank you for helping to sponsor our Skin Cancer Prevention Lab in my Medical Intervention Class. I had fun learning about yeast cultures and getting to see and test different materials and substances to see their effectiveness against UV rays. My and partner and I were very happy to see our results and how well our lab turned out and all the growth we saw in our yeast culture. Once again, I want to thank you for sponsoring our lab because it was a fun experience and my partner and I learned a lot of new things." - A.D.

    I share in my student's gratitude to you all that supported this project. You have given my high school juniors a strong foundation in molecular biology and cancer genetics that only offered to upper-division college students. We are going to continue our exploration into the causes, preventions, and therapies of cancer.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Wong

In my "How to Conquer Cancer" unit, my students investigate how DNA damage in cells ultimately leads to cancer. More specifically, they will study the impacts of direct UV light and melanomas (skin cancer). This lab enables students creative freedom to explore how different variables can shield the skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays emitted from the sun. When students begin the lab, they will generate a hypothesis on protective elements against the UV rays emitted by the sun. This can be what color clothing best protects the sun or which SPF sunscreen is the most effective in conferring the best protection. When they expose a mutated, non-pathogenic yeast to the sun, using the experimental parameters they set, they can test their hypotheses out firsthand and report on the results of their experiment. What I love about this lab is that it gives students agency in exploring the scientific method in a tangible way that they can take home to their friends and family, while educating them on the importance of protecting oneself against the sun and melanomas.
