Activity Menu
The Plants for Human Health Institute supports a lab space that is dedicated to outreach activities. Amy Bowman, PHHI Extension associate specializing in STEM Education, manages the lab and has curated this menu to experiences to offer to public groups looking to learn more about scientific research. She makes sure to connect the hand-on learning experiences to research that is actually happening at PHHI.
