Genetics Education & Outreach Network

 

 

Nearly 650 members of the genetics scientific and counseling community have volunteered to be a part of a unique resource for K-12 students and teachers – the Genetics Education and Outreach Network (GEON).  These human genetics professionals and advocates volunteer their time on National DNA Day as well as throughout the year to assist science teachers in increasing understanding and awareness of the Human Genome Project and genetics among students and the general public.
