Biomedical Breakthroughs: From Science Fiction to Science Fact (part of the Virginia Science Festival)
to
Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute 2 Riverside Circle, Roanoke, Virginia 24016
Brain-controlled robotic vehicles, nanomachines in the body, heart manipulations that would make Iron Man proud—what you might have dismissed as science fiction will come to life at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute as part of the first annual Virginia Science Festival.
Program highlights include an interactive Science Transformation Tour; a Mad Scientist Laboratory for kids, with crafts and a newly invented Alien DNA Game; electric fish; and Meet the Scientists, with cameos by Grayton the Wonder Dog, a pioneering pooch in cancer research.
