The University of Wyoming’s Teacher-Researcher Knowledge Exchange (TRKE) program kicked off its second year of connecting science educators and scientific researchers with a five-day institute in Pinedale this fall.

The 31 members of the second TRKE cohort include university researchers, K-12 teachers from around the state, and nonformal educators and field instructors from Teton Science Schools and Grand Teton National Park.
