(KUTV) One science class at Timpanogos High School is taught by a particularly passionate teacher: Josh Heward.
"I love biology, I love learning about animals in particular," he said.
But for the very first time in his career, Heward is about to give his students something he got thousands of miles away on a continent made of ice, located at the bottom of the earth.
"I got to go to Antarctica for a month as part of a research expedition and that was amazing," Heward said.

![U of U may have molecular help for those who suffer from chronic back pain
Salt Lake City — (KUTV) The University of Utah may have a major breakthrough for the millions of people who suffer from chronic back pain.
A research team at the university, lead by bio engineering assistant professor Robby Bowles, has discovered a way to modify the genes in the affected area to reduce pain and create healthier disc.
“It’s a very big deal,” Bowles said. “These patients are desperate [for pain relief].”
With the use of CRISPR a new technology with a way of modifying human genetics Bowles is able to modify the genes in the spine through an injection directly to the affected area.
