UW Biology Open House

May 17 - 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

UW
We are hosting a day of science and invite you to join us! This event is free of cost, and families and science enthusiasts of all ages are welcome. The UW Department of Biology is a large, collaborative, and integrative department – meaning our research and teaching spans from cellular and molecular biology to global climate change to paleontology to plant biology. Our department is among the largest undergraduate degree programs at the UW and is a vital STEM pipeline for the state of Washington. Come learn about the exciting things our department is doing from experts in their fields! Our UW Biology Greenhouse will also be open for visitors!
At our open house, you’ll have the opportunity to explore topics such as:

How have penguins adapted to survive climate change?

How is neuron fate decided during development?

Why are mosquitoes attracted to us?

Do plants really “defend” themselves against insect predators?

How does the brain really work?

Does the Greenhouse really have a stinky corpse plant and when will it bloom next?

You’ll also be able to touch invertebrates, brains, fossils…and more!
