Synapse

Synapse and the Yale Science Magazine are excited to announce that Science on Saturdays is back, and we’re looking for volunteers! Our first post-pandemic outreach event is scheduled for Saturday, April 8, from 9 am to 1 pm. The featured speaker will be Dr. Albert Ko, an infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist from the Yale School of Public Health, who will talk about “How We Use Science to Protect People from Epidemics.”

This award-winning lecture series is aimed at middle school students and their families, bringing the excitement of research and the passion of Yale scientists to the New Haven community. Each event involves a lecture by a Yale professor and hands-on science demonstrations.

We are expecting as many as 500+ students, children, and family members to attend. Volunteers will be helping to run demos, assist the keynote speaker, direct families, and ensure that Science on Saturdays runs as smoothly as possible.

This is a great (and fun!) way to get more involved with the greater New Haven Science Community. There will be food and t-shirts provided! If interested, Please fill out this form by April 5th 11:59 pm! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to yalescientifc@yale.edu.
