Our two graduate ghouls had some great activities for Halloween. We viewed pumpkin cells and worms under microscopes, had an opportunity for dissection and a petting zoo with some very chill Hissing Cockroaches on loan from the entomology lab!

The University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is expanding its outreach and engagement mission this year with the creation of the CLAS Engagement Hub. The hub will be anchored by the Magid Center for Writing and the Iowa Sciences Academy, and serve as the college’s official source for information, resources, and news about outreach and publicly engaged scholarship of CLAS faculty, staff, and students in the state of Iowa and beyond.

This is an opportunity to introduce meet experienced researchers in STEM fields on campus, such as Biology, Health & Human Physiology, Psychology, Chemistry, and more! Introduce yourself and learn more about topics such as: getting started in research, developing hands-on laboratory skills, and communicating research to the public. Enjoy refreshments and a chance to mingle, while satisfying your curiosity about scientific research!
