Bio buzz family series

3rd Saturdays, from 1:45 - 2:15 p.m.
Free with general admission.

Bio Buzz talks are family-friendly, 20-25 minute presentations designed to stimulate conversation and inquiry surrounding a variety of topics within the field of bioscience. For the 2010-2011season, we are also introducing 4 special “Teacher Brown Bag Lunches".  During these designated dates, speakers also participate in a pre-talk lunch from 12-1 p.m. where local teachers have the opportunity to meet and discuss the field of bioscience and bioscience education with the speaker. Lunch is provided for the speaker. Some previous topics: “Getting into Medical School”, “Where do New Foods Come From?”, “Dangerous Dirt: Valley Fever”, “A Day in the Life of a Scientist” and  “Human Cloning”.

The Bio Buzz series was made possible through a five-year Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health. This program will give students and the general public a glimpse into the human body, its parts and processes, and new advances in biomedical research and technology.
