Science 10 field trip - @thestandardasl Instagram post

Hudson Eckart Hill (’24) and Theo Kalimtgis (’24) learn about cancer through examining a model at the Outwitting Cancer exhibit at the Francis Crick Institute on a Science 10 field trip Dec. 1. Grade 10 students, who are currently studying cells and genetics, learned about the causes of cancer, treatment research and personal stories of people affected by cancer.
