Student Publication Opportunity: National Human Genome Institute

The vision of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is to improve the health of all humans through genomics research, Specifically, by using a scientific lens to engage with a societal challenge, this is an opportunity to write about it and submit to GI.

If interested, here are some details:

Students can work in teams to write about any topic of genomics and society that interests them.
Student submissions that meet the guidelines will be reviewed by researchers from prestigious academic institutions.
This process might produce an artifact for students to demonstrate their scientific writing skills at specific proficiencies within a real-world context.
Submission deadlines are on November 1 and March 7.
Submission guidelines, Frequently Asked Questions and previously published student papers are all included in this link to the journal.

NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) Program

This is a five week, self-paced online course. This orientation to NASA sets a baseline for all students wishing to pursue subsequent NCAS missions. Students will gain a broad knowledge of what NASA has in its current plan and how they can play a role. STEM based activities embedded in the online course include live and recorded subject matter expert lectures, interactive multimedia on NASA content, interactions with fellow aerospace scholars, knowledge assessments including a final project, and guidance and support from trained professional educators. Completion of this course allows you to move on to Mission 2 where you get to participate in exploration simulation. You can find more information on their website.
