Only for the curious! The U-M Museum of Natural History is hosting a very special mini version of our popular Scientist Spotlight in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2025. Meet U-M scientists of color and learn about their research through interactive tabletop activities, such as:
💧 The Bouncing Drop Show: U-M Mechanical Engineering graduate student Biruk Teka Gidreta uses lotus leaves to demonstrate how “hydrophobic surfaces repel water, and how we can use that in high-tech cooling applications.
🩻 A Scientist’s Guide to Reading Human Bones: U-M Anthropology graduate student Megan Savoy teaches visitors how to interpret burial sites. No actual human remains are included, but visitors can try out their skills first-hand on several different “graves” featuring fake bones, toy jewelry, and more!
