Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers at UC San Diego
We will be conducting a pH color change experiment using a pH indicator of boiled cabbage and small amounts of various household items as test samples. Participants may partake in choosing samples to test, and each iteration of the experiment is expected to take 1 minute per sample tested. This allows each participant to test a number of different samples and analyze them according to a provided visual to determine acidity and basicity and learn about the pH scale.
Lilly Biotechnology Center
Lilly Biotechnology Center will provide information about DNA and proteins, and how antibodies can be used to treat diseases like COVID-19.
UCSD Neurosciences Outreach
We will have sheep brains for participants to hold and examine, and ~20 animal brains to try to match the the animal in a guessing game!
