 Thank you to the 38 SDB volunteers that helped make
our exhibit at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, DC a success.
Thousands of visitors were able to observe developing zebrafish,
C. elegans, Xenopus and Coqui frogs. Visitors learned about developmental adaptations in frogs through our
Evolution Thought Trail Exercise and had the opportunity to design their own organism masks. Thank you to Olympus and the Carnegie Institution for use of their microscopes.
