UM Sessions for the event:

The UM Flipped Science Fair Team is a student-led organization at the University of Michigan funded by Research!America. Our goal is to increase public engagement with science and science-policy.

We are hosting a virtual outreach event on April 15th 3-5pm EST aimed at the local Ann Arbor community: undergraduates, community leaders, and the general public. Our goal is to demystify the scientific research process and facilitate discussions about how science and society can fruitfully engage with one another.

The event will consist of two parts:




3:00-4:30 pm:
A 1.5 hour “flipped science fair” where several researchers from the University of Michigan present cutting-edge research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of what scientific research entails, how it can be used to inform public policy, and its importance in our community.

4:30-5:00 pm:
A 30 minute community discussion on the societal implications of the presented research, and how our community can capitalize on it. Community members and leaders at all levels are welcome to engage with us and explore avenues through which scientific findings can address public issues.
