Scripps Florida to Hold CELLebrate Science Festival January 31

Spotlighting the impact of biomedical research on daily life and the work of Scripps Florida scientists, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) will hold the its sixth annual community science festival—CELLebrate Science—on Saturday, January 31, 10 AM to 3 PM, at the Gardens Mall, lower level, in Palm Beach Gardens.

The festival will feature interactive chemistry and biology demonstrations, a full-size “puzzle” model of the human brain, views of the “invisible” world through microscopes and large-scale models of friendly and not-so-friendly viruses and bacteria. New this year will be a look at 3D printing and its increasing use in biomedical research. Visitors also will meet some of Scripps Florida’s world-class scientists, who are conducting research to uncover potential therapies for such diseases as cancer, diabetes, autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Additional information is available on the CELLebrate Scripps Florida Science website.
