Nicklisch Lab Outreach: Inspiring young minds.

Presentations

Angela was invited to talk about her life, research, and future endeavors at Canyon Hills Middle School, El Paso, TX. In this series, Angela discussed the future of the Nicklisch Laboratory and the current project. Students showed great interest in pursuing higher education programs and can’t wait for an opportunity to show what they can do during the Science Fair coming up the following month! Her words inspired student work; a team was able to extract DNA from various fruits while others researched the various insects of his local park as the seasons transitioned from Autumn to Winter.
