Recent sightings: Stem cell summer science camp

Jose Zepeda, of Ellsworth, Wis., peers into a microscope while participating in a summer science camp hosted at the WiCell Research Institute at University Research Park the week of July 14.

Designed for rural Wisconsin high school students such as Zepeda, the four-day outreach program provides hands-on learning experiences with human embryonic stem cells, working with WiCell scientists and researchers from the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center.
