On Saturday September 18th, GA Tech hosted its Buzz on Biotechnology High School Open House.  This annual science fair is organized entirely by graduate students from Bioengineering and Bioscience Unified Graduate Students (BBUGS) education and outreach committees to encourage high school students to indulge in their scientific curiosity.  This year there was a record turnout with students from all over the Atlanta metro region.

After the Open House, Dr. Manu Platt, an EBICS co-PI, spoke to students from Langston Hughes High School who brought a busload of 40. He talked about his journey to becoming a professor and enlightened the students on the process of applying to college and graduate school. Many students and chaperones said it was the best part of the day!
