Mary Wildermuth, Faculty Scientist with the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division will honored on May 12, 2017 at the Berkeley Public Schools Fund Spring Luncheon for her contributions to Berkeley schools. With a grant from the Berkeley Public Schools Fund, Wildermuth volunteered her time to develop Be a Scientist, a 7th grade science program that brings 200 science mentors from UC Berkeley to lead individual students at Berkeley’s three middle schools through a process of scientific inquiry and investigation. Berkeleyside recently featured an article about this program.
