Outreach

The Atlanta Science festival is an annual event in which representatives from a wide range of STEM careers and organizations host events to engage with the local community. The Davis Lab hosted a booth entitled, “What are proteins and how can we see them?” targeting families with children aged 8-13 at this Exploration Expo on March 23rd, 2024.

Visitors learned about the different levels of protein structure, working with pipe cleaners and beads. Analogous to how our group determines the structure of proteins using X-rays, they also imaged small objects via cyanotyping.
