Two of our BioEYES partners were featured in news articles this month! BioEYES Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania was in this month's NSTA Reports from the National Science Teachers Association, while BioEYES South Bend, IN at the University of Notre Dame was the focus of this item from the Notre Dame Science Department of Physics. Good job, everyone!

BioEYES Baltimore's parent institution, The Carnegie Institution for Science, has just been given Charity Navigator's highest rating - four stars - for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency for the twelfth year in a row. Carnegie is one of only five organizations out of 5,500 evaluated by Charity Navigator to earn the four-star rating for this long, and the only one in Washington, D.C. to do so. Read more about it here, and see the Charity Navigator detail here!

What is BioEYES?

Project BioEYES is a K-12 science education program which provides classroom-based learning opportunities through the use of live zebrafish. Project BioEYES is designed to incorporate teacher empowerment and provides professional development seminars and a co-teaching experience with trained university science consultants, called Outreach Educators.

BioEYES is located at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA; the Carnegie Institution for Science in Baltimore, MD; Notre Dame University in South Bend, IN; and Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

Extending the BioEYES Experience

The BioEYES program includes extensions that complement subject areas in the arts, English, mathematics, health, and social studies and can be used to reinforce concepts in the life sciences such as cell biology, genetics, the life cycle of an organism, and other topics. The following zebrafish story is an example of an extension that was recently written by one of our participants, and told from the perspective of a zebrafish embryo that she raised.
