The first academic meeting of the 2015-2016 WSSP program will be held for teachers only at 4:00 PM on 9/24/15 in Rm 1001 of the Waksman Institute.  We will discuss changes to the program for central New Jersey high schools associated with the WSSP.  Supplies and equipment will be distributed to schools to conduct the project during the academic year. 

Several schools created physical models of proteins that are homologous to the duckweed proteins coded by the genes they identified. See the SMART Protein Structure Modeling link for more information and pictures on the structures that were made for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Poster Forums. We thank Tim Herman, Margaret Franzen, and Mark Hoelzer from the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for Biomolecular Modeling for creating the models with the scripts generated by the students.
