Bioscience Education Canada and MindSet (Manitoba) present the 4th Annual National Bioscience Educators Conference on February 16th to 18th 2010 at Red River College in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Please click here for registration and program information.

This conference will provide an opportunity for secondary school science teachers to hear from some of Canada’s leading bioscience researchers and to learn about activities and programs that will help with their delivery in the classroom. Laboratory workshop sessions will permit participants to gain some experience in performing lab activities that complement the current educational curriculum. Information about academic and career choices for students will be highlighted.

The program will address current research developments in bioethics, biodiversity, biopharmaceuticals, agri-foods, nanotechnology, and many other areas of investigation that fall under the rubric of bioscience. It will also offer information about academic and career opportunities for students.
