A word about our collaborators and partners

It's getting warmer out, and we certainly kept busy last week for Dog Daze. In case you didn't have a chance to stop by, we had a smelling station for different human diseases. Some weren't too bad (maple syrup, bread), but others might have traumatized some kiddos that stopped by (fish sauce). We'll be sure to have a warning label next time!

You might have noticed that our friends from the Museum of Human Experience joined the fun for Second Friday! They're building a unique, interactive museum that focuses on our individual and collective human experiences, and what makes us all human. They certainly drew in a crowd with their biomimicry exhibit! We hope they'll join us again on Main Street soon!

Also, fair warning for next month's Science on Main: some of our experts will be volunteering at the Arizona Museum of Natural History for their annual fundraiser "Beer N' Bones." The funds go directly to the AzMNH (and to us by proxy, because they're awesome supporters of Science on Main!). Christina will be speaking on a Brewology panel, and you might get a shot with her at Speed Date a Scientist! Joel and Jessica will be around the museum as well, so be sure to say hey. Send us an email if you want in on hanging at a museum and drinking local brews after hours :-)

That said, Joe and Ryan will still hold down the fort on April 13th in our usual spot with
 Science on Main. One of our core values for our program is that science is for everyone, and which is why we provide the information for free in an open, accessible space. We will still be there for you to talk about cool science and answer your questions!

Looking forward to it!
