SHARING IN THE DISCOVERY STEM CELL LEARNING LAB

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 目的：告知和教育公众关于干细胞和再生医学研究在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校。让教师和学生参与进来，并为将干细胞和再生医学研究纳入科学教育课程提供资源和想法。与新的（2009年）威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校科学推广办公室工作，宣传该计划，并帮助教师和其他人找到我们的服务和安排访问实验室。 这是威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校干细胞和再生医学中心，生物技术中心，灵长类动物中心及其在整个威斯康星州的外展合作伙伴之间的持续合作努力。项目负责人是乔丹娜·列侬，B.S.，她雇佣了一名学生计时实验室经理 在2008-2009年，我们成功地建立了一个干细胞学习实验室为公众在遗传生物技术中心，为公众服务，学生4-12年级，大学生，少数民族计划，校友，退休人员，和其他“终身学习者。“参观者观看介绍性演讲，提出问题，讨论研究和当前的问题。然后，小组在实验室工作，使用真实的实验室技术和设备，由于生物安全问题，使用模拟细胞和培养基。他们能够观察到来自James Thomson实验室的真实的活ES和iPS细胞。(We在早上，在小组到达之前获得活细胞。许多团体然后访问灵长类动物中心，并了解其在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校干细胞历史和当前研究的重要作用。 实验室于2008年初建立，第一批小组于2008年4月开始访问。迄今为止，我们的实验室体验已经吸引了1,000多名参观者。我们还采取了经验，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的科学探险，并在路上，场地，包括农业技术日在布朗县，和威斯康星州州博览会在密尔沃基县。 通过这个项目，我们还安排了UW-Madison干细胞和再生医学演讲者向众多观众介绍这一广泛的科学领域。我们的演讲者包括主要研究人员，博士后实习生和研究生。 该项目依赖于WNPRC公共信息官员的时间和资源，他也是干细胞和再生医学中心的大学关系专家。 该项目使用联邦批准的人类胚胎干细胞系从詹姆斯汤姆森的实验室获得。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective: To inform and educate the public about stem cell and regenerative medicine research at the UW-Madison. To engage teachers and students and provide resources and ideas for incorporating stem cell and regenerative medicine studies into science education curricula. To work with the new (2009) UW-Madison Office of Science Outreach to publicize the program and help teachers and others find our service and schedule visits to the lab. This is a continuing collaborative effort among the UW-Madison Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center, Biotech Center, Primate Center and their outreach partners throughout Wisconsin. The project leader is Jordana Lenon, B.S., and she employs a student hourly lab manager. In 2008-2009, we successfully set up a stem cell learning lab for the public at the Genetics-Biotechnology Center, to serve the public, students grades 4-12, college students, minority programs, alumni, retirees, and other "lifelong learners." Visitors view an introductory talk, ask questions and discuss research and current issues. Then, the groups work in a lab using real lab techniques and equipment, with simulated cells and media due to biosafety issues. They are able to observe real live ES and iPS cells from James Thomson's lab. (We acquire the live cells in the morning, before the groups arrive.) Many groups then visit the Primate Center and learn about its important role in UW-Madison stem cell history and current research. Lab setup occurred early in 2008, the first groups began visiting in April 2008. To date, our lab experiences have drawn more than 1,000 visitors. We have also taken the experience to UW-Madison's Science Expeditions, and on the road, to venues including Farm Technology Days in Brown County, and the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee County. Through this project, we have also scheduled UW-Madison stem cell and regenerative medicine speakers to present to numerous audiences about this broad scientific field. Our speakers have included principal investigators, post-doctoral trainees and graduate students. This project relies on the time and resources of the WNPRC Public Information Officer, who is also a university relations specialist for the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center. This project uses federally approved human embryonic stem cell lines obtained from James Thomson's lab.
