HHMI's Free Science Lectures on Human Genetics

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute's 1998 Holiday Lectures on Science,
"Of Hearts and Hypertension: Blazing Genetic Trails," will focus on
human genetics, cardiovascular biology, and the role of the kidney in
hypertension. The free lectures will be broadcast live via satellite and
webcast from the Holiday Lectures website
[http://www.holidaylectures.org] on December 7 & 8, 1998. Web visitors
can participate in an interactive video chat from 1:30PM to 2:30PM EST
each lecture day.

Teachers who register for the Holiday Lectures on Science can receive a
free Teacher and Student Guide that makes it easy to integrate lecture
concepts into a high school science curriculum.

The website [http://www.holidaylectures.org] also contains a wide
variety of activities that complement the lectures, including the
Interactive Web multimedia components and an Ask a Scientist feature for
students to submit questions to scientists via e-mail.

Channel One Connection (formerly the Classroom Channel) will rebroadcast
lectures one and two on January 13, 1999, and lectures three and four on
January 20, 1999.
