This Saturday, we’re hosting a microscopic event that’s actually a pretty big deal— Genomics and Microbiology Research Day!

Explore a world of science that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Learn about the cutting-edge technologies researchers use to study things like DNA and microbes across diverse species, including primates, insects, and, of course, humans. With a handful of activities, plus talks by our very own Genomics & Microbiology Research Lab scientists, this is one you won’t want to miss.
