Q: “Why do you think programs like the GEP need public support?” R: “Many community college students are at a disadvantage when they transfer as STEM majors because they have not had as much exposure to research environments. GEP helps fill that gap.” ~Alexa Sawa. Learn more at thegep.org.

The GEP offers Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in bioinformatics and genomics for undergrads. Hear what @professorsawa.bsky.social has to say about why programs like this need support.

Text graphic reads: “What gap in STEM education does the GEP help you fill? ‘I teach at a California Community College. Participating in GEP research projects allows my students to get a taste of what it’s like to join a research lab. Something we don’t have on campus.’ ~Alexa Sawa. Learn more at thegep.org.”
