Summer internship for Indigenous science students offers hands-on training yeg
The Summer Internship for Indigenous People in Genomics Canada is designed to train and build scientific literacy among Indigenous students and researchers in the branch of molecular biology dealing with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genetic material. The program ran from July 11 to 15.
“It’s really important that people in the community have a basic understanding of the lab, the culture of science and what’s involved,” TallBear said. “While we are mostly looking at providing this context for Indigenous scientists in training, we do also sometimes provide it to people interested in policy and regulation.”
“We can look at the way that different land uses, particularly after settlement, have shifted the microbiome in the soil,” TallBear said, referring to the genetic material of microorganisms in those environments. Also a member of Samson Cree Nation, he said the program has allowed him to reflect upon Indigenous peoples’ relationship with the land.
