Dr. Schwartz-Bloom is especially interested in helping high school biology and chemistry students learn better by incorporating topics in pharmacology (e.g., drugs and alcohol) into their curricula. She has developed several online programs to bring these curricular materials to the classroom. Her current interests are to bring real neuropharmacology experiments into high school biology classrooms, "virtually". She and her team have developed a series of 7 neuropharmacology experiments performed by Duke graduate students on film. An online program brings the real scientists into the high school classroom to interact with the students. Field-testing of the virtual online program was conducted in the Durham high school biology classes. The program is now available online to the public at www.rex.duke.edu
