Join Young Women In Bio at the Fred Hutch for a Look Inside Our Blood!

February 26, 2020 - 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Young WIB Seattle

Have you ever wondered about the components of our blood, and how those components might be affected by cancer? For those who missed this event last year, YWIB-Seattle is collaborating again with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to offer a hands-on laboratory experience to interested 8th through 12th grade students! Dr. Beverly Torok-Storb (FHCRC) will provide the necessary biological background, and a guided lab will follow in which students separate blood components and observe blood smears under a microscope. No prior lab experience required.
