Interested in mentoring the next wave of scientists and improving STEM education? Get involved with Discovery to mentor high school students in virtual capstone-style projects! Learn more at our virtual info session on Thursday, Sept. 30th at 5 pm (utoronto.zoom.us/j/852838622…).
On #InternationalWomensDay, we'd like to recognize some of the current leaders that make #Discovery a success!

Delay vaccine 2nd dose? Data from Pfizer/BioNTech. After 1 dose ~100-fold lower neut Ab. 4/15 @ 30ug have none. 12/15 @ 10ug have none. Unclear if more Ab develops later. Also lowering the dose might not be great either. Note: Viruses love to evolve under partial immune pressure!

Check out a highlight of our outcomes recently published in #npjScienceofLearning go.nature.com/3oDKolE
Excited to share cumulative quantitative outcomes of the #Discovery learning platform! In this work, we discuss impacts of student engagement in a capstone-style, inquiry-based educational partnership between @tdsb and @uoftengineering rdcu.be/cbBH2 (1/11)

The Discovery virtual symposium is live! This morning we have @uoftengineering graduate students, undergraduate research students, faculty; and @GHCI_TDSB students and teachers together for the dissemination of students' inquiry-based data-challenge projects! @bme_uoft @TDSB_STEM
Understanding how we can separate and retrieve different proteins from patient serum. Our @GHCI_TDSB #chemistry students analyzed datasets related to protein separation. Today, they present their findings at our virtual symposium!
