Bay Area Teen Science (B.A.T.S.)
is a growing community that serves as the leading portal for community youth to
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) opportunities and
resources for Bay Area teens. B.A.T.S. promotes learning, career building,
collaborating, and networking for both audiences.. At this event, teens and
parents can learn about growing STEM opportunities, current research
revelations, and participate in fun hands-on activities. This is the perfect
opportunity to come meet and discuss your interests with undergraduate and
graduate students, researchers, and STEM industry and educational professionals
and for youth to be exposed to various STEM fields and topics.
One such topic is Thalassemia.
Thalassemia is an underrepresented medical health issue that can only be
tackled through the support of the community. Increased awareness of this
serious condition has proven to facilitate research development. In their 45
minute presentation, Mint Bhetraratana and Caroline Levan of the Thalassemia
Outreach Program at UCSF Benioff's Children's Hospital Oakland will discuss
careers in research and genetics and talk about new research on Thalassemia,
which is a genetic disease. This new research is pushing the frontiers of
medical science and should not be missed!
Hope to see you on March 7th!!
