g. Conditions for a population or an allele to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are: (1) a large population size, (2) absence of migration, (3) no net mutations, (4) random mating and (5) absence of selection. These conditions are seldom met.
h. Mathematical approaches are used to calculate changes in allelefrequency, providing evidence for the occurrence of evolution in a population.
To foster student understanding of this concept, instructors can
choose an illustrative example such as:
• Graphical analysis of allele frequencies in a population
• Application of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation
Essential knowledge 1.A.4: Biological evolution is supported by scientific evidence from many disciplines, including mathematics.
4. Mathematical models and simulations can be used to illustrate
and support evolutionary concepts.
To foster student understanding of this concept, instructors can
choose an illustrative example such as:
• Graphical analyses of allele frequencies in a population
• Analysis of sequence data sets
• Analysis of phylogenetic trees
• Construction of phylogenetic trees based on sequence data

Great summer opportunity!!
Dear Andrew Rapin:
Thank you for educating and inspiring our next generation of informed citizens!
We at BioQuest Academy within Seattle BioMed are providing an opportunity to your junior year students at Mt. Si High School to experience the world of biomedical research, to get a real-world experience in doing research and making lifelong connections with peers and mentors to prepare for their future career in the biomedical industry. We are excited to announce the extension of the Academy’s application deadline to April 15, 2014, and hope that you will help us spread the word about the two-week summer program.
BioQuest Academy occurs at Seattle BioMed - the largest independent institute in the country solely dedicated to the elimination of global infectious diseases such as AIDS, influenza, malaria and TB. Our research is pivotal to the development of new vaccines, medicines and medical tools to combat these illnesses that largely claim the lives of infants, children and mothers of child-bearing age.
At BioQuest Academy, Seattle BioMed scientists will teach you real lab skills, share their passion for overcoming devastating global infectious diseases and will help advance your senior year steps into college and post-secondary opportunities. We are the only remaining program within the Puget Sound area that provides authentic biomedical research lab training experience for high school students with continued mentoring for post-secondary career success. The academy has played a transformative role in the lives of over 300 students who have been part of the Academy alumni. These students have gone on to study at premier colleges like the University of Washington, Stanford University and many more. Careers in the Healthcare sector are experiencing a rapid growth in Washington State and at BioQuest, we are committed to getting our High School students ready and trained for this growth.
I have attached a flyer for the BioQuest Academy opening and here is a link to a 4 minute video about BioQuest. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hQjv64JFbo)
I wish I could visit with you and talk to your students about this program, but as the new extended deadline draws near (April 15th), it would be great if you could share this unique opportunity with your Junior year students (Graduating class of 2015).
We greatly appreciate your support in promoting this opportunity to better STEM proficiency in this generation of graduates. Applications and more information can be found on our website: bioquestacademy.org.
