Resources

Hey everyone, I was really into the idea of teaching ecology through the Mannahatta project after seeing another students's unit web. I found this resource http://themannahattaproject.org/about/overview/. The website talks about the availability of walking tours and class visits and it had some ideas for class lessons and data driven activities. This seemed like a good resource for a community visit or trip within a lesson on ecology. -Heather

I have done trips to Columbia with my students, visiting different labs. Some of the labs below might help and are open to showing students around and giving them additional information about the topics you are teaching: There are also other student groups at Columbia which are more than willing to come and talk to your students about what they are doing/researching and bring samples. The general group website is: [|Student Group List]. You will have to look through this stuff, but you should be able to find different groups that go with the science and specific aspects that you are teaching about. -Peter

Hi everyone If you are interested in doing anything relating to the human body/neuroscience, you could contact my father who is a neurobiologist. His email is jhmart@gmail.com. Obviously mention me in the subject heading. i also know a grad student at Columbia and a neuro grad student at emory.

Additionally, when I was an undergrad i worked in the Movement Disorders Center at Mount Sinai and have many contacts there. If you wanted to do something related to medicine I could help you contact my old boss, Michele Tagliati. I also know multiple people in med school in the city.

If you're interested in tying in basic neuroscience research or behavioral psych, I could connect you with grad students at columbia and various professors i had as well.

If you're interested in Energy, one of my best friends works at the Department of Energy in DC. Further, she's pursuing a PhD from Harvard starting in the fall.

If you're interested in genetics, I have a good friend who has been and is continuing to do genetic research.
