Much fun and frustration was enjoyed by all. Each student went home with a hand-made quilted tote bag. Pictured left to right are Jordan Lee, Juliana […]
Children and siblings of the JGPT spent the day at Rutgers exploring facets of cell biology, pharmacology, engineering, and toxicology. Twenty kids aged 5 to 12 built simulated cells with candy organelles on jello molds with JGPT predocs, played in the pharmacy simulation suites, and tie-dyed their lab coats. Maybe we will see some of […]
On February 28th, the students enrolled in the Consumer Products and Sustainability elective course ventured over to the Colgate-Palmolive campus to present their risk assessment projects.
