MicrEAU Lab Outreach

Outside of the lab, our research group is dedicated to bringing science to the community. We believe that our duty as researchers is to not only conduct high-quality research but also to bring our findings to the communities that interact with these ecosystems on a daily basis. We hope that by educating the general public about the research we do, we will inspire them to help protect the ecosystems around us.

Interacting with the Grand Public

Description: Each year, our laboratory organizes and participates in multiple community events. During these events, the general public can learn about the research that we are conducting and can interact with us in a meaningful way. Previous and ongoing events include:

Examples

School Presentations and Field Trips

Description: Many of our current graduate students were inspired to become scientists during school field trips. By providing fun and interactive science activities for children, our lab hopes to inspire the next generation of scientists! Our school presentations are adaptable for most age groups. Some examples of previous collaborations with schools include:

Examples: 

  • Interactive science presentations
  • Laboratory demonstrations
  • Visits on the Lampsilis research vessel

Interactive Science Workshops

Description: In collaboration with other researchers and organizations, our laboratory group has participated in several multidisciplinary events. During these events, we have interactive science exhibits that allow participants to learn about the ecosystems around them. Some examples include:
