UW Science Expeditions is a part of a multi-day campus-wide science open house each spring. As a public, land-grant research university, Science Expeditions gives members from our community to learn about the work being done to improve health through research and training.

This event is an opportunity to learn about some of the incredible research being done in the School of Pharmacy through interactive and fun demonstrations! In previous years, attendees made bouncy balls, grew crystals, played a pharmacy video game, looked through microscopes at fruit flies, learned about the history of pharmacy, toured real scientists’ labs, made fake medicine capsules, gowned and masked for a tour of the sterile products laboratory, and much more!

Please check back next spring for UW Science Expeditions 2025!
