Girl Scout Troop 62275, a 3rd Grade Brownie Troop in Westwood, recently visited the lab of Life Biosciences in Cambridge.
The scouts were interested in visiting the lab to learn more about science, see it in action, and talk to a few female scientists about their careers, what they studied, and what they do on a day-to-day basis.
The tour at the lab consisted of an overview of the space and meeting a few of the team members; getting outfitted in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (i.e. gloves, lab coats and glasses); looking at cells through a microscope; getting an overview of the various equipment; and practicing using a pipette to move solution (in this case dyed water) from one container to another.
