Rub elbows with local scientists while examining bacteria under a UV light or practicing using a pipette while extracting blood from a real heart during the sixth annual Life Sciences Research Weekend, running Friday, Nov. 2. through Sunday, Nov. 4 at Pacific Science Center.
The Northwest Association for Biomedical Research and Pacific Science Center have teamed up once again for three days of demonstrations, interactive exhibits and talks for school children, families and citizen scientists interested in learning more about the exciting world of life sciences and the key role research plays in our daily lives. With the help of over 23 scientists and dozens of researchers and volunteers, guests can bisect a real sheep heart to learn about heart health, extract DNA from a squishy strawberry to discover what these strands of life look like, and even become a lab scientist by making hand sanitizer to keep bacteria in check.
Amgen, Benaroya Research Institute, The Hope Heart Institute, University of Washington, Shoreline Community College and Bates Technical College are among the many local cutting-edge institutions that will demonstrate some of the current research underway in our region. Life Sciences Research Weekend is a program of Pacific Science Center’s Portal to the Public Initiative, which brings scientists and public audiences together in face-to-face interactions to promote an appreciation and understanding of current science research taking place in the community.
The activities are included free with the price of general admission. To learn more about the weekend, visit Pacific Science Center's website.
