6th Annual CELLebrate Science Day to Highlight Scripps Florida Research

From exploding hydrogen bubbles to 3D robots, The Scripps Research Institute’s (TSRI) 6th Annual CELLebrate Science Day will introduce the local Palm Beach County community to the Scripps Florida's biomedical research. Open to the public, the science festival will be held Saturday, January 31, 10 AM to 3 PM, at the Gardens Mall, lower level, in Palm Beach Gardens.

The event aims to make science relevant and fun through a variety of hands-on activities, special presentations and displays booths for children and adults. Visitors will meet some of Scripps Florida’s world-class scientists, who are working to understand the basic biology of disease and to discover potential therapies for such diseases as cancer, diabetes, autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Booths at CELLebrate Science 2015 will include 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 increasingly common use in biomedical research.

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

Architects Revisit ‘Masterpiece’

When the Hazen campus buildings at Scripps California were completed in 1995, they were lauded by architecture critics as “magnificent.” Above, Tod Williams (left) and Billie Tsien, architects of the award-winning project, recently revisited the complex, delighted by how its distinctive design has stood the test of time.
