Outreach

The Kasinath lab is committed to growing and improving the scientific community and mentoring the future generation of scientists. We have hosted and mentored students from CU and specifically the STEM UpLIFT program, community college, and high school.

We have partnered with AIMS Community College and Early College Academy by hosting a summer workshop for students as well as seminars at AIMS. We hosted one such workshop in July 2024 (see below), another for Early College Academy students in October 2024 (see below), as well as hosted tours of our lab for Science Colloquium.

July 2024 - Presenting our scientific journeys to the Bridges to Baccalaureate (B2B) Program!

February 2025 - Lab tour for Science Colloquium students

October 2024 - The lab presented our scientific journeys and research projects, as well as gave tours of the lab and core facilities to Early College Academy students

Danielle showed students the Vitrobot and how we use it to make cryo-EM grids.

Robert and Malia showed students the C. elegans we keep in the lab and how we utilize this model organism.
