Socrates Fellows Bees, Biology and Chemistry: Bringing Graduate Level Research to High School Classrooms
UCSD Socrates Fellow Meg Eckles teamed up with Jeff Kepper, a 16-year veteran biology teacher at Helix Charter High and with Debbie Byrd, the school’s AP environmental science teacher to teach bee ecology. Eckles is one of nine other Socrates fellows, all doctoral students, enriching the high school science curriculum of various San Diego area schools with cutting edge science from UCSD. The fellowships are funded through a science education grant from the National Science Foundation.
Socrates Fellowships aims to bring excitement of university-level research to high schools across San Diego County.
