REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

Spinning Science Series for MBC.  (please read this in its entirety) 

Knowledge is power and this series will help you become a better advocate for yourself (or others). In this series of workshops we will work to understand some basics of MBC as well as molecular biomarkers (like DNA and proteins)  in order to better understand our pathology reports, biomarkers, and some available treatments, including clinical trials. Finally, we will give you tools that will enable  you to  find the high quality health information you need. 

Each interactive workshop will last an hour and 30  minutes with about 15 minutes of pre work (to introduce you to the topic and pick up some basic information) and 15 minutes of post work, applying what we have learned. We will meet Wednesdays starting August 28th on Zoom for 5  sessions, with an added BONUS 6th session to be announced at a later date.  A Zoom link will be sent in a seperate email with your confirmation of your spot in the class. 

We are offering two sessions, an am session [8am PT || 11am ET] or [4pm PT || 7pm ET].   You will have a choice to register for either session.  (NOT BOTH) 

By registering you are committing to attend all sessions.  

We hope you can make every session, but know things happen!  If you attend the first session we will also send you a Project Life Spinning Science binder  to organize  your notes, pdf's, and worksheets. 

Those who attend ALL sessions will be awarded a certificate of completion.  

(recorded sessions, notes, worksheets  are only for participants who are registered and attend 70% of classes) 

Registration is open now  and closes when classes are full.   We can only take 20 participants for each session.   20 for the morning session, 20 for the evening session.   We offer a wait list in case there are cancellations.  

IMPORTANT!
