Kathy Liu, Ann's daughter, teaches biology at Westmoor High School in
Daly City, CA. As a graduate student in botany, she used tissue cultured
plants to study plant fungal infections, but has never used tissue
culture with her students. "It is something that I have always thought
that I would like to do, but I just haven't. Perhaps the insight shared
here will give me the confidence to try it with a class or two."
Kathy, along with Sue Black and Stan Ogren founded "The Gene
Connection", San Mateo County (CA) biotechnology education partnership
in 1990. This partnership provides everything (equipment, supplies,
reagents, training and technical support) for high school classes to
work with DNA. Labs supported by this program include transformation,
DNA isolation, DNA fingerprinting simulation, and others. The Gene
Connections now serves all 21 public high schools in San Mateo County
plus several private schools and two of the three community colleges.
Kathy has been a teacher consultant with Access Excellence since its
inception.
