Biology changes over various timescales. We provide examples of descent with modification, sampling error with M&Ms, and the development of microcrustaceans!
Lasers are an integral part of modern science experiments and require very precise control of the laser. We will show participants the job of a laser scientist in this hands-on activity! Using a laser pointer and a set of mirrors, we will recreate some of the actual laser paths we use in our laser lab in Biodesign C.
Electrons are tiny, charged particles that surround all atoms which make up everything in the universe! In the Beus laboratory, we free electrons from their home in atoms and accelerate them to near the speed of light. In this demo, we show that by accelerating electrons through gas, we can produce colorful plasma inside a glass orb and change the direction of plasma filaments by touching different parts of the glass.
Neuroscience-themed games, crafts, and demonstrations activities for all age groups, hosted by a mix of neuroscientists of all career stages and backgrounds!
