Large Biotech Symposium
Features Local
PRINCETON, N.J. The
advent of a global society has
created an awareness of the bio
science and biotechnology fields
and their extreme importance to
mankind.
Bearing this in mind, the Japan
Bioindustry Association organ
ized “Bio Japan 92,” the largest
international bioscience and
biotechnology symposium and
exhibition of its kind.
The symposium, held in Yoko
hama, Japan, focused on the
theme, “All Living Things On The
Earth Seek Harmony ” This
included health, food, education,
and the environment, which are
sources of human survival and
welfare.
Fred Stillwagen, former agri
cultural education instructor at the
Lehigh County AVTS, past PVA
TA president, and past National
Vocational Agricultural Teachers’
Association vice president, repre
sented the United States as a guest
speaker on high school education
in biotechnology. Currently, edu
cation consultant to American
Cyanamid Agricultural Research
and Development Division, Still
wagen addressed “Biotechnology
Education Strategies an
Industry/Education Partnership at
the Secondary Level” and served
on a question and answer panel.
Other topics addressed at the
education session included
biotechnology learning in high
school, biotechnology education
in an agriculture high school, how
Representative
to deal with the biotechnology in
the class of biology, promoting
understanding and awareness of
biotechnology in schools, and
other topics.
In discussion with educators
and teachers from throughout the
world, Stillwagen came away
from the symposium with a posi
tive attitude as to the biotechnolo
gy programs and opportunities for
high schools in the United States.
