College and Beyond (21+)

OUTbio San Diego

OUTbio San Diego aims to align with OUTbio to enable and facilitate a community within the life sciences and affiliated industries that support professional development and networking. We are still solidifying the activities, but they will be connected to the LGBTQ+ community and the sciences. One idea is to have a quick and simple matching game of people from the LGBTQ+ community who have contributed to the sciences in the past and present.

County of San Diego's Department of Environmental Health & Quality - Hazardous Materials Division & Beach and Bay Program

The Department of Environmental Health & Quality will be conducting an interactive exercise where attendees can hold a CO2 bubble. Additionally, the Hazardous Material Division and the Beach and Bay Program will provide information regarding the regulation and handling of Hazardous Materials & Hazardous/Medical Waste. The Beach and Bay program will be providing information regarding the sampling and posting of signs warning of contaminated water at beaches affected by sewage spills.

San Diego County Vector Control Program

The Vector Control program will provide an experience to view real-life samples of the mosquito life cycle under microscopes. You will get to see what each stage looks like and what you should look out for in your own backyard to prevent mosquito breeding. Mosquitofish will also be on display! There will be many free giveaways including pencils, insect repellent, mosquito activity books, stickers, and more!

UCSD Bioengineering Graduate Society

In the first demo, students will act as a stem cell and interact with different materials to stimulate cell differentiation. Afterwards, we will showcase engineering design principles by building a biomaterial scaffold for neural stem cells. The second demo will allow students to experience the impact of atherosclerosis on blood flow throughout the body. Students will “pump” blood through healthy vessels and diseased vessels using a handheld pump and tubes representing the cardiovascular system.
