Fume Hood Laser Show

Throughout the week, researchers stopped by to witness our exciting laser show, blending science and safety in a visually captivating way. It was great to see so much enthusiasm and engagement!

Special thanks to the EXP chemistry teaching lab instructors for hosting us–thank you John Bottomy and Ed Witten!
