Sardana lab participates in the yearly ‘Expand your horizons’ community outreach program at Cornell to encourage girls to pursue STEM careers. We teach the high school girls key concepts in microscopy. This followed by all participants building a simple microscope and observing a diversity of interesting specimens. These workshops have been very successful with the students, and very rewarding for us!
