Scripps Research invites YOU to visit our La Jolla campus, meet our scientists and experience the excitement of scientific exploration at the 3rd annual Scripps Research Discovery Day! This is a free event, but pre-registration is requested.
With exciting demonstrations and hands-on science activity stations led by dozens of our graduate students and scientists from laboratories across Scripps Research, visitors can explore topics in chemistry, neuroscience, viruses and vaccines, aging and longevity, drug discovery, cancer biology, and much more.
Science enthusiasts of all ages—from the very young to the young at heart—will find fun activities and moments of wonder at Scripps Research Discovery Day, from eye-popping chemistry demonstrations and the ever-popular liquid nitrogen ice cream, to microscopes offering a peek at cells and microbes, and a virtual reality exploration of the tiny world of viruses. We’ll also share the latest news about our research into new medicines that one day may provide treatments and cures for conditions that affect millions.
We hope you can join us on Saturday, October 3rd!
