The San Diego AALAS Outreach Team recently participated in Expo Day held at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. Expo Day is part of the greater San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering which features a week of interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities and dynamic speakers to engage kids and families in science and engineering. Over 23,000 kids and families were in attendance.

SDAALAS was there to emphasize their particular focus toward education and careers in LAS. The AALAS Foundation was happy to help support this event by providing SDAALAS with free resource materials, such as our “Careers in Biomedical Research” brochures and “Animal Roles in Medical Discoveries” posters. These tools helped SDAALAS reach thousands of visitors with their message and dedication to the humane care and treatment of laboratory animals and the quality research that leads to scientific gains that benefit people and animals.
