Children experiencing the life of a scientist

Two photos of children at the Science Festival. Left: A child looking through a microscope and wearing safety goggles and a white lab coat that, despite being children sized, is hilariously oversized. Right: A child holding a scientific pipette, about to dip it into a beaker, watching his work intently.

Kids throughout the Science Festival got to put on the lab coat – both literally and metaphorically, as they tried on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), looked through the same microscopes that OIST scientists use to make groundbreaking discoveries, and tried their hand at pipetting, sampling, and other lab staples.
