UCSD Scientista and Graduate/Undergraduate bioinformatics council (GBIC/UBIC)
Science and LEGO! Through hands-on interactive games, our booth will focus on exposing students to the wonders of bioinformatics and computational genomics. We will have a Lego-DNA sequencer, and we will allow students to 'generate' the DNA of the monster they draw. They will see the process of sequencing DNA through this game, and gain some understanding of Next-Generation Sequencing technology. We believe this game will spark the students’ interests in biology, bioinformatics, and science! LEG
Southwest High School Biomedical Pathway (Good Vibrations)
You’ve likely experienced older adults with hearing aids struggling to hear what you’re saying to them. You probably feel like hearing loss might have something to do with age, right? But have you ever considered which types of sounds they find the hardest to hear? Since sounds are made of waves which vibrate at different frequencies, certain types of sounds are harder to hear!
In this exploration, festival goers will participate in an experience to investigate how aging impacts hearing.
UC San Diego Biomedical Engineering Society
Our demonstration will give students hands on experience with the fundamentals of genetic engineering. Using craft zippers, students will see how new genes can be incorporated into the genome and express a different function. Volunteers will teach and guide students through the demonstration alongside a poster board that contains informative concepts.

Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar©—Special Edition!
Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar® is back, with an artistic twist; Two Scientists, Special Edition: A Scientist and an Artist Walk Into a Bar. For this artistic variant on our popular Two Scientists Walk into a Bar program, we invited artists to the mix. Adults 21+ and local scientists will gather to enjoy something we can all enjoy: a beer and good conversation in a local bar. The scientist and the artist will be easy to spot. Just look for the sign that reads: "Ask us anything about science and art!" Date & Time: March 9, 5:30 – 9:30 PM (Times will vary by location). 25 Scientists.
