On Thursday, October 17th, CLEAR hosted a tour of their research facilities for the 2024 Great Lakes Bioneers conference, held at University of Detroit Mercy.

Thirty-five students from local high schools attended the tour, along with other conference attendees. The purpose of the tour was to showcase CLEAR's Proejct 4 research, which focuses the connection beteween environmental stressors and maternal health using mice models.

Participants were able to tour four stations at the center, which all focused on different aspects of the research. CLEAR trainees gave short presentations about their work, the instruments they use in their lab, and how they look and interpret data for experimental results. Trainees also took the time to share career advice with the students, and offering information on programs they are eligible to get lab experience prior to their high school graduation. There was also a poster session, where trainees displayed their latest research outcomes for tour members to view and ask questions.
