CBC participates in University High School Penguin Pathways Event
On Friday, February 14th, 2025, Dr. Tara Archuleta and Sam Ellis, CBC Undergraduate, attended the University High School Penguin Pathways Event. Students explored the chemical properties of biological antimicrobials and antibiotics by crystallizing an antimicrobial enzyme, lysozyme. This allowed the students to understand the importance of studying molecular structures in pharmacology and clinical therapeutics. This lesson exposed students to career paths within the fields of biochemistry and chemistry.
CBC continues to receive a significant number of outreach requests from different schools and organizations to present and participate in outreach, such as providing demonstrations and interactive demonstrations, scheduling lab tours, having chemistry “magic shows,” meeting potential students, and attending high school career fairs.
CBC has a long history of engaging our community. CBC faculty, staff members, and several volunteer student groups respond to outreach requests from schools and organizations in the Tucson area. We love the opportunities to show the amazing world of chemistry and biochemistry to lifelong learners of all ages!
