The John P. Stevens Biomedical Science Academy students continued perfecting their foundational laboratory skills by focusing on blood draws. It was a collaborative lab with even the school nurses coming up to participate. It was a great practical application and career readiness activity.

Thank you to Investigator Jaclyn Horvath for visiting our JPS Bio Medical students! Ms. Horvath (Middlesex Regional Medical Examiner's Office) shared with the students background information on the ins and outs of her work (as well as several in-the-field photos!). The BioMed students are currently working on PLTW fictitious cases and solving the cause of death, so the presentation tied in nicely.
