Bio Buzz Family Series

Family Series

Join us for this series of family-friendly, 20-minute lectures designed to stimulate conversation and inquiry surrounding a variety of topics within the field of bioscience in a "kid friendly" format.This presentation is FREE with general admission.

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.
