Holy Family Academy students were actively present at the Annual March for Life in Washington, DC in January.  Two-thirds of the student body traveled with the Diocese of Manchester to stand up for the unborn.  This year the students carried a Holy Family Academy banner.  Additionally they all wore checkered hats.  The hats were designed and made by Mrs. Tiffany Peterson along with several other HFA Moms.  Special thanks to Mrs. Peterson for her tireless organization and work to make this trip a memorable one. Our students were publicly present and we are very proud of them!

Lab 5a

Sophomores stand next to the successful results of an experiment, "Lab 5a", made possible by the Amgen Bruce Wallace-Biotechnology Program, administered by the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University. Students successfully caused the bacterium E. coli to take up a plasmid containing a gene that allows the bacteria to glow pink. This 'glow gene', called rfp, is normally found in a type of sea anemone. It is widely used in biotechnology as a visible marker, to check for the uptake of other genes of interest alongside it, for example, a gene that codes for insulin. Insulin can then be mass-produced from transformed bacteria to help diabetic patients. There were many steps involved in this transformation, each of which had to go 'just right' in order to convince the bacteria to take up the plasmid. Congratulations, sophomores! Many thanks to Alia Qatarneh, coordinator of the program at Harvard, for making available the equipment and supplies to carry out this experiment!
