The Seminar Series for High School Teachers offers educators the opportunity to explore topics at the forefront of biomedical research. Built around monthly science seminars that explore important challenges and introduce new tools and research findings, the program pairs each teacher with a Whitehead scientist who serves as a resource during the school year — answering questions, discussing their fields of expertise, and visiting with students. Averaging more than 50 participants each year, more than 2,200 teachers have engaged in the series over the past 30 years.
