Welcome to the event blog for three days…
Welcome to the event blog for three days of hands-on activities for children and parents interested in meeting scientists and learning about the innovative life sciences research in our community. The event was co-presented by the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research (NWABR) and Pacific Science Center.
“The Life Sciences Research Weekend is a fantastic opportunity for our young people to connect with the world renowned biotechnology institutions that call the Pacific Northwest home. I applaud their efforts to inspire students to pursue careers in the life sciences.” — Senator Patty Murray
More than 250 local researchers, volunteers, and staff from NWABR and Pacific Science Center represented 26 organizations, companies, and academic departments. Enjoy a virtual visit to the event with these photographs, stories, and links to additional resources. More than 10,000 visitors joined us at the event, and over 30,000 more people have visited this event blog.
