Exploring the Biology of Skin Color Using BioInteractive Resources
Virtual
To accommodate educators' schedules, this workshop will be offered twice. Workshop content will be the same at both sessions.

- Session Two: Wednesday, May 25, 4:00–6:00 PM EASTERN

During this workshop, participants will engage in an interactive, data-driven discussion of The Biology of Skin Color by exploring free BioInteractive resources including a short film, a Phenomenal Image, and a variety of hands-on, student-driven activities. In addition, these activities may help address the common misconception that race has a biological basis.
