1st day of Rice RET internship done! ✅ Bumped into a former student who is doing Comp Sci summer research! She reminisced about her time at SL & even told me bio was her favorite class! Sweet & unexpected encounter! Excited to leverage this opportunity to motivate more students!

Just learning how to synthesize nanoparticles in a glove box for a potential cancer treatment delivery method! R-STEM Mariana Quinn

I’ve taught about scanning electron microscopes and I’ve shown students images produced by them, but I have never seen one in person. This particular one at Rice was huge and it was pretty awesome to see it in action while taking pictures of the synthesized nanoparticles!

Last week of the Rice Nano RET program! It’s been a lot of work, but rewarding to work with and learn from scientists who are generating knowledge! 👇🏼Looking for microplastics in human sample using a massive, special electron microscope.

We welcomed most of our newest teachers to our Mustang Nation today! We’re all excited for this school year! 🐎 Stephanie Worthington, Ed.D. James E. Taylor High School
