The Lamar High School AP Biology class took a trip to the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts on Monday (10/28/24) to participate in a lab where they transformed E.coli bacteria by inserting PGLO DNA into its DNA and observing what happens to the bacteria when food and antibiotics are present in the environment. They then took a quick tour of downtown Hot Springs where they got to dip their hands into the natural hot springs and then visited one of the historic Arlington hotel.
