 Project WISE
For the second consecutive year,
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory took part in Project
WISE--Women in Science and Engineering. Orchestrated
by SUNY Stony Brook and funded by a grant from the
National Science Foundation, the project involves
several Long Island institutions--SUNY, CSHL,
Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the American
Association of University Women--each helping to
expose bright young women to the world of science.
The program for female high school students requires
the student's participation during each of her four
high school years--9th through 12th grade. The Lab
instructs the 10th graders in molecular biology and
genetics, offering a foundation upon which they can
build a future in technology and the sciences.
Mary Horton of our Grants
Department ably managed our involvement in this
ambitious program, which includes two trips to the
DNA Learning Center, dinners with Lab scientists, and
visits to CSHL labs. Mentors in 1996 were staff
investigators Holly Cline and Michael Hengartner;
postdoctoral fellows Karen Buchkovich, Alyson
Kass-Eisler, Michele Cleary, and John Horton; and
research technician Stephanie Smith.
