Carolina Biological Supply, a Burlington, N.C., company that provides materials to the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Academy, has produced a video highlighting the science work of faculty member Mat Gendle, assistant professor of psychology.
This is the third year that Carolina has donated Carolina’s Perfect Solution® sheep brains and classroom dissection kits to the Academy. Gendle leads the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Academy’s summer dissection lab.
“Our partnership with ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ has been mutually beneficial throughout the years,” said Allan Morrison, head of preserved materials at Carolina. “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to support their hands-on dissection activities with our Carolina’s Perfect Solution® brains and help serve our local high school students during this exciting summer program,” said Morrison.
Started in 2006 by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Academy provides academically gifted, local high school students with the opportunity to enhance their education, build leadership skills, and develop a strong sense of social responsibility. The students have financial need and come from families with no history of college education.
Carolina takes a collaborative approach to learning and educational advancement and has supported science educators for more than 80 years.
