The Salk Institute opens its doors to the public for the fourth annual Explore Salk, the Institute’s once-a-year community open house. In addition to guided lab tours and science booths, this year’s event features a talk by Salk’s new president, Nobel laureate Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, titled Don’t Cell Yourself Short.
Family-friendly activities include a Kids’ Discovery Zone, a mobile science lab with hands-on experiments and a virtual lab tour with a Q&A session for preteens interested in pursuing a career in science. In addition to a general lab tour, there is a small-group, hands-on lab tour.
