This is not an exhaustive list of links. Rather, it is list that I am updating as I go – adding useful links that I think might be of use to you.
GEMSS – Genetics Education Materials for School Success
GEMSS has lots of useful information – even downloads that can be given to teachers. GEMSS was developed by the Education & Outreach work group, within the New England Genetics Collaborative (NEGC) – a group of specialists from the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont).
