Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped Friday, Sept. 19, as the public outreach program’s “Celebrate Undergrad Research” series continues. Featured speakers will be Dr. Molly Cannon, executive director and curator of the USU Museum of Anthropology and undergraduate researcher Sascha Baldauf. The free event takes place at 7 p.m. in the Eccles Science Learning Center Emert Auditorium (ESLC 130) on the Logan campus. Hands-on learning activities and refreshments follow the talk.

What do you do when you (literally) can’t unwrap science? Anthropologists Sascha Baldauf and her faculty mentor Dr. Molly Cannon faced a puzzle, when the USU Museum of Anthropology came into possession of ancient mummified remains. Dismantling the precious artifact was out of the question, so they turned to USU biologists who use a specialized scanner to examine specimens without damaging them. What they found surprised them and is helping them add to understanding about ancient burial practices.

Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped Friday, Sept. 19, as the public outreach program’s “Celebrate Undergrad Research” series continues. Cannon, executive director and curator of the USU Museum of Anthropology and undergraduate researcher Baldauf are featured speakers. The free event takes place at 7 p.m. in the Eccles Science Learning Center Emert Auditorium (ESLC 130) on the Logan campus. Hands-on learning activities and refreshments follow the talk. Come along on an exciting journey of discovery!

Science Unwrapped seeks student and community volunteers interested in conducting post-talk learning activities, along with undergrad researchers who wish to present their posters at the event.
