The halls of UC’s biology department came alive with high school students early last month. Scores of students from Hughes, Aiken and Lockland high schools poured in for a day of learning. Molecular parasitology, hydrogeology and spider vision were all on the schedule, and there was plenty of hands-on learning as they handled snakes, hissing cockroaches and frogs, studied vertebrate anatomy and combed through stream samples searching for elusive mayflies, sowbugs and crayfish.
