We will have an ambulance tour and teach some basic first aid including how to apply a tourniquet. We will also have our Flycar-think of a police car- around for you to see. If you have ever had any questions about Emergency Medical Services or been curious about what goes on in the first response world, this is the activity for you!


S15522: Discovering Biology Using Lasers and More in Spark 2023 (Mar. 18 - 19, 2023)
Ever wondered how we know the shape of DNA? Come shoot LASERS with me to replicate this famous 1952 experiment. How about the result of the replication of two 3 BILLION base long DNA strands? Find out how two famous biologists exploited 1 neutron and spinning to answer this very question. Interested in programming? Explore protein models generated in the last few years that will propel the future of biological research in years to come! You yourself are biology; come explore how we've come to understand so much and yet have so much left to uncover in the field.
