HudsonAlpha recognized by Best in STEM
The “How do Polygenic Risk Scores Stack Up?” kit won an Educators Pick Best of STEM award for Best Resources for Analyzing and Interpreting Data.
The kit — created by HudsonAlpha and produced by Carolina Biological — uses authentic data and graphical representations to address two central questions to help students visualize genetic risks at a population level. :
- How are traits, such as disease risk, distributed across a population?
- How can identifying an individual’s risk shape health care decision-making?
HudsonAlpha’s STEM resources
With nearly all Alabama public schools using materials developed by HudsonAlpha and materials found in nearly every state in the US and 34 countries, the institute’s education team is inspiring the next generation of scientists.
They educate the public to make more informed medical decisions and work to develop innovative public health strategies that will shape the future of our health care.
