The Whitehead Spring Lecture Series for High School Students
Due to the events at the Boston Marathon on Monday and the ongoing investigation, the Whitehead High School Student Lecture Series has been canceled.
We deeply regret having to make this decision, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this creates at such a late hour. As always, we appreciate your interest in and support of Whitehead Institute and look forward to hosting this program in the future.

Tom Volkert, Director of Whitehead's Genome Technology Core, discusses how genes are sequenced with high school student program participants.
