Project #5: Public Health Outreach - Cambridge Science Festival
Project Collaborator: Kathy Vandiver, PhD, COEC Director, MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences
Overview: This is a collaborative opportunity for two Centers to make science tangible and immediate for the public. The project engages the public in activities and conversations about their environmental health research through interactive exhibits or "play stations" for all ages. The public gains a sense of the nature of NIEHS-funded environmental health research and of its applicability to every day choices (e.g., wear sun screen?) and to public policy (e.g., Clean Air Act.)
