It has been a busy month for the STEM Ambassador Program! Several STEM Ambassadors have visited local senior centers to share their work. JJ Horns spent an afternoon at the Riverton Senior Center where he discussed his research on migratory birds. David Belnap presented his work on viruses at the Liberty Senior Center, and Shrinivasan Raghuraman discussed neuroscience at the 10th East Senior Center.
Members of the 2017 STEMAP cohort could be found in several community venues this month. Pratiti Tagore delivered her second presentation on waterwise landscaping to inmates at the Salt Lake County Jail. Ariadne Penalva discussed brain health and aging with participants at the Liberty Senior Center. Lauren Williams also visited a local senior center. She spent an afternoon at the Magna Kennecott Center sharing her work in cognition and neural science. The evening after Lauren’s presentation, the STEMAP team hosted a celebration recognizing the Ambassadors and community partners who make such engagement activities possible. We are grateful for your support.
