What’s New At Mommy Poppins

Here’s what Mommy Poppins Founder Anna Fader is excited about in 2013:

Travel: “As my kids have gotten bigger, so have our adventures,” Anna says. “We mostly feature off-the-beaten-track places, all written by families, and post once or twice a week. Plus, once a month we share hot family travel deals. We also have some family friendly resorts and hotels featured. A lot of the site is city guides with 25-50 things to do in different cities around the country.”

Events: “We’re about to launch a series of events for families where we’ll bring people to the very best stuff in NYC. I’m looking forward to sharing these experiences with our readers and building on the community that we already have virtually in real life.”

Apps: “We’re developing a great app that will show great kid-friendly locations written about on the site. You’ll be able to find what’s near you, search a map, or filter by type of activity. It’s going to be a great tool for exploring the city with kids.”

Rosetta Institute of Biomedical Research

<h1>Summer Science Camps for Tomorrow&rsquo;s Medical Professionals</h1> We offer a variety of workshops on molecular medicine for high-achieving high school and middle school students interested in pursuing careers in medicine or related fields, such as biomedical research, drug development, pharmacy, bioengineering, or nursing.&nbsp; Workshops are taught by PhD-level instructors with years of research and teaching experience. Camps are offered in summer and winter and there are online and in-person options available.&nbsp;&nbsp; Through engaging lectures and hands-on laboratory classes, students learn normal molecular and cellular biology, and then learn how these normal processes are disrupted or distorted during the development of disease. There is a heavy emphasis on experimental design, modern drug development, and the emergence of the era of personalized medicine. To conclude the workshop, students use what they have learned to create an original research project. More broadly, workshop attendees strengthen their academic skills, build their college portfolio, and explore potential career options while making friends from around the world and experiencing college dorm life in a safe environment. Our university-based workshops are held at Columbia University, Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego, and both residential and commuter options are available.&nbsp; &nbsp;University-based workshops include Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biology of Cancer, Astrobiology, AI-Enhanced Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology of Aging, Neurological Bioinformatics, Molecular Immunology, Bioinformatics of Aging, and Bioinformatics of Cancer.&nbsp; Biomedical Research &ndash; a workshop focused on learning modern molecular biology laboratory techniques - is taught at our lab in the Bay Area, CA.
