We (@lsubiograds in the @LSU_BioSci, @lsuscience at @LSU) spent a part of our Spring break at a local school in East Baton Rouge (LaSalle Elementary), extending the kids’ classroom learning with hands-on science experiments (Grades 3-5). 🧲 💦 🔄 🔆 🧬

[Elaine Nkwocha @nkelaineada]

@c_lattin @LSU_BioSci Congratulations, Dr. @c_lattin!👍👍👍

[LSU College of Science @lsuscience]

We're excited to have welcomed a fantastic group of 4th-6th graders to @lsu_MNS for a memorable Kids' Day! They enjoyed hands-on STEM activities, behind-the-scenes museum tours, and lunch with CoS scientists. Thanks to all for making this day possible! 🎉🔭
