TORL participated in several outreach activities this spring.
- Invite-a-Scientist: The Invite-a-Scientist program is put on by the North Carolina Science Festival. It pairs scientists with local middle schools, where they spend the day teaching students about their research and why they chose to become a scientist. We went out to Apex Middle School to teach the kids a bit about biomedical engineering.
- CVM Open House: The vet school at NC State hosts a yearly outreach event to teach the public about some of the amazing research going on.
