On Saturday, January 19, 2019, CCBM Executive Director Carrie Kouadio, CREST Intern Asmaa Mohamed and Mercy Medical Center Pharmacist Dr. Lisa Tarbell led presentations and hands-on laboratory activities for the AAUW Mother and Daughter Science Camp held at UC Merced. Around 25 fourth and fifth grade girls and their mothers (or other significant women) learned about chemistry in 2 two-hour sessions. The camp is organized and managed through a collaboration of the Merced chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and the Merced County Office of Education.
