County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health & Quality

The interactive booth will allow attendees to better understand some of the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Programs. Interactive dry ice demonstrations are designed to help attendees better understand some of the chemical hazards faced by our emergency responders on the Hazardous Incident Response Team. Attendees will also be able to learn about the beach water quality monitoring program and the tools available to ensure their safety when entering recreational waters.

County of San Diego Vector Control Program

With Live Well San Diego

We will have a collection of samples of the mosquito lifecycle to be viewed by microscope or magnifying glasses in order to learn about where mosquitoes come from. We typically try to bring some live samples when they are available. We have a mock back backyard setup to provide examples of places that can hold water and breed mosquitoes. This interactive display helps people understand how to prevent mosquitoes and bites and stay protected from diseases.

J. Craig Venter Institute

JCVI is at the forefront of genomics, striving to unravel the complexities of the biological world to improve global health. At our booth, explore how plastic accumulates in the food chain—from small fragments in microbes and other tiny organisms to fish and, eventually, us. Learn about how our scientists are tackling the problem of plastic pollution, the power of microbes, and the effect of both on the ocean. Join us for insights at the intersection of genomics and environmental challenges.
