Engaging new students with science can help us get a head start on addressing issues that arise in the future and benefit the world as a whole. We are passionate about “revealing how life works” by hosting workshops, conferences, and events for Oregon teachers, students and the general public. Students in our undergraduate and graduate clubs often participate in these events, cementing their own learning and teaching young people to fall in love with science.
