Our lab participates in a variety of outreach activities.
Currently, we are coordinating a Collaboratory with the Ahmanson Lab, part of USC’s Sydney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study. This project aims to design a multiplayer computer game that teaches key concepts about marine food webs, with a special focus on microscopic interactions within kelp forest ecosystems. The game will be interactive, durable, and suitable for inclusion in public science education venues. By integrating science, art, and technology, this project will make microbiology and ecology more accessible and engaging to a broad audience—especially elementary students and undergraduate biology majors.
