NWABR has teamed up with Pacific Science Center to present the third annual Life Sciences Research Weekend, Nov. 6-8.

The event showcases the great research and talented scientists in our community. It is an opportunity for children and parents to meet real scientists and see the passion that scientists have for the work they do.
