Mark Walport states, “Science is not finished until it is communicated.” It is not enough to identify a problem and research the solution for the identified problem; researchers are expected to raise the next generation of scientists and bridge the wide gap in scientific knowledge between scientists and non-scientists through public engagements. To contribute towards the goal of bringing science to a non-technical audience, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Camp Sprague social event held at Salt Lake City Public Library, Sprague Branch, in early fall. This event drew participants from all ages. I was very excited to share my science using relatable materials to illustrate the various biological processes I explore in my research.
