Earlier this month, DMNS attended the SEPA conference in
Birmingham, Alabama! What does "SEPA" stand for you ask? SEPA
stands for Science Education Partnership Award which is a grant
awarded to leaders in science education by the National Institutes
of Health. Recipients include universities, public health
organizations, and museums-including yours truly, the Denver Museum
of Nature and Science! DMNS uses its SEPA grant to both finance the
Expedition Health exhibit and the Genetics of Taste research
project.
Fun Fact: The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is the only SEPA
recipient using its grant to fund an entire research project-and
it's all thanks to our volunteer citizen-scientists! That's
right, thanks to the wonderfully dedicated volunteers at DMNS we
are able to have opportunities unlike any other museum or SEPA
recipient!
