Thanks to Dr. Karen Schindler, a professor in the Genetics Department at Rutgers, for visiting Martin Luther King Intermediate School to deliver engaging lessons on genetic traits to fifth-graders in Leslie Celebre’s science classes! Dr. Schindler, who is the mother of two students at M.L. King, taught students on Feb. 7 and 13 about dominant and recessive genes and how they affect traits such as eye color, hairline, tongue rolling, and super tasting. The visits built upon previous classroom learning and exposed students to fields of study and careers in science, said District Supervisor of K-8 Science Dr. Jeffrey Celebre. Dr. Schindler was aided by Rutger graduate student Mayra Romero. #PwayLearns #PwayInspires
