Ecology

Join us for our grand opening and first formal life science seminar symposium at the Boz Institute. Learn about our initiative and our current research modules utilized to prepare program participants for exciting careers in life science, and find out how to get involved. Our current research includes local ecology plant biodiversity, environmental science, cell-signaling and aging, neurobiology, single-cell organism intelligence...

Join us for some coding fun using Scratch, a drag-and-drop visual computer programming language. Learn how to use Scratch and code your own underwater scene, complete with fish and a scuba diver.

Did you know that if we take three deep breaths, the oxygen from two of those breaths comes from plants that live in the ocean? Marine plants help reduce global warming and provide our atmosphere. Learn about the science behind these funky plants!
This event is part of the Spring Into STEAM program. Spring into STEAM is the San Diego Public Library’s science-focused program series for 9 - 12-year-old students. Workshops take place during the months of March, April and May at all 36 branch libraries across the city.

What is a watershed and do you live in one? In this workshop, students will explore how humans impact local waterways, build their own watershed modes, and discover how they can help keep our ocean clean.

Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar® is back, with an artistic twist; Two Scientists, Special Edition: A Scientist and an Artist Walk Into a Bar. For this artistic variant on our popular Two Scientists Walk into a Bar program, we invited artists to the mix. Adults 21+ and local scientists will gather to enjoy something we can all enjoy: a beer and good conversation in a local bar. The scientist and the artist will be easy to spot. Just look for the sign that reads: "Ask us anything about science and art!" Date & Time: March 9, 5:30 – 9:30 PM (Times will vary by location). 25 Scientists.
