On October 8th, eleven of Ms. Swarner's Biotechnology students attended the stem cell culture day at SF City College. Students worked with automatic serological pipets, inverted microscope, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) stem cells, laminar flow hoods and more! Students viewed CHO cells prior to fluorescence, then they cleaned, aspirated and added dye to stem cells. During the 30 minute incubation, students interviewed professors, graduates from UC Santa Cruz, and community college students on careers in science and pathways to get there. After 30 minutes students viewed the stem cells. Viable cells were fluorescent and were viewed using the inverted microscope. This incredible opportunity exposed students to careers, summer course opportunities, and they had an amazing day at SFCC!
