Our Strategy
Modern research is niche. It can be hard to explain to a lay audience. That's why we tie our lessons into concepts the kids are already learning. For example:
1. Start with Mendelian Heredity
(a typical school lesson)
↓
2. The Mysterious DNA Code
↓
3. Strategies for Deciphering the Code
↓
4. Using CRISPR to knock out a zebrafish gene we suspect contributes to regulating skull density
(our research)
Distribution
We package your videos with 5 lesson plans and work with the marketing department of your institution to reach out to local middle schools. We also upload everything to our youtube channel, Lab Report Science, under a Creative Commons license, making your research easily accessible (and understandable) to the general public.
