Big Congratulations to Mya and Hannah for being the 2027 winners of Name That Bug!

The competition was fierce this year with each round being won by a different team. But Mya and Hannah won the final round and took home the coveted Media Lab octopuses!

(I had to look it up and "octopuses" is actually correct. who knew?)

Happy Holiday from the MLS Seniors!

09/11/2024

MLS seniors put their phlebotomy skills to the test yesterday. MLS students start by practicing venipuncture on dummy arms and then proceed to practice on each other. This prepares them for their clinical rotations in the spring where they are required to get 50 successful draws to pass the practicum.

It’s that time of year again! Our newest MLS students showing off their new phlebotomy skills!!!!
