We are always involved in activities meant to engage communities, in particular those that have very few opportunities to see science in action. We believe that sparking interest in science at any age is vital both to recruiting new scientists and to establishing better communication of scientific goals with society. Below are enumerated some outreach activities.<\/p>\n
