Lacee Sherman’s Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Journey For Lacee Sherman, science has always been more than just a subject to teach—it’s a way of thinking, learning, and discovering the world. As a teacher at Infinity Middle School in Aurora, Colorado, Lacee has spent years blending her passion for science with hands-on research experiences, ensuring that her students not only learn about science, but experience it. Through the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, offered by the Colorado BioScience Institute, Lacee has brought invaluable lessons from the lab at STAQ Pharma straight into her classroom, helping her students see the relevance of science in their everyday lives.

The Colorado BioScience Institute (The Institute) proudly celebrates the extraordinary achievements and groundbreaking discoveries made by students in the field of life sciences. Each year, The Institute participates in the Colorado State Science and Engineering Fair at Colorado State University with a panel of distinguished judges. In 2024, we are excited to once again present the Future of Life Sciences Award. This year’s recipient is Angelina Wang, an 11th grader from Fairview High School, for her project “Toxin-like Microproteins: A Novel Approach to Unveil the Intricacies of Acetylcholine Receptors.”
