CORE--Community Outreach and Education

该机构参与了一些外联方案，其中许多方案是由 Coep向公立学校的学生介绍科学和毒理学方面的职业。最近的例子有 在这里突出显示。 ？一年一度的迷你工作坊，“发现内在的科学家”，由 科学女性(AWIS)，提供了一个独特的机会来分享亲身实践的流式细胞仪 与中学女生一起开展活动，并向她们介绍利用这项技术的职业。一个 类似的计划也被提供给来访的高中年龄的学生，从科学和 数学研究性学习体验(微笑)，一个独特的大学前充实计划 目标是俄勒冈州历史上代表性不足的学生和其他受教育不利的学生。 Coep最近开发了一个网站，未解的人类健康之谜，它有一个目标 向学生和公众介绍复杂的研究方法和仪器，如 中心调查人员自己的研究强调了这一点。这个网站的一个特点是，“与 流“，强调了Kerkvliet博士实验室的研究，以向学生展示如何流 细胞仪的运作以及如何利用流动数据来了解二恶英的毒性 (http://www.unsolvedmysteries.oregonstate.edu/flow_cytometry_01.shtml). ？Julie Oughton和Kerkvliet博士完成了对毒物学领域的重大贡献 与人合著了毒理学当前协议中的一个单元部分， 2005年出版的《流式细胞术》。 ？在俄勒冈州立大学的各种免疫学课程上举办了几次研讨会，以 向初出茅庐的免疫学家介绍流式细胞术的原理，以及亲身实践 台式分析仪的演示。

The facility has been involved in a number of outreach programs, many of which are sponsored by COEP to introduce public school students to careers in science and toxicology. Recent examples are highlighted here. ¿ An annual mini-workshop, "Discovering the Scientist Within", sponsored by The Association for Women in Science (AWIS), has provided a unique opportunity to share hands-on flow cytometry activities with middle-school girls and introduce them to careers that utilize this technology. A similar program has been presented to visiting high school age students from the Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE), a unique pre-college enrichment program targeting historically underrepresented and other educationally disadvantaged students in Oregon. ¿ The COEP has recently developed a website, Unsolved Mysteries of Human Health, that has a goal of introducing students and the general public to complex research methods and instrumentation as highlighted by Center investigators' own research. One feature of this website, "Going with the Flow", highlighted the research in Dr. Kerkvliet's laboratory in order to show students how a flow cytometer operates and how flow data is used to learn about dioxin toxicity (http://www.unsolvedmysteries.oregonstate.edu/flow_cytometry_01.shtml). ¿ A major contribution to the field of toxicology was completed by Julie Oughton and Dr. Kerkvliet who co-authored a unit section in the Current Protocols in Toxicology, "Immune Cell Phenotyping Using Flow Cytometry", which was published in 2005. ¿ Several seminars have been presented to various immunology classes at Oregon State University to introduce the principles of flow cytometry to budding immunologists, as well as hands-on demonstrations of the bench top analyzers.
