Today was Take Your Child to Work Day at the Buck!! We had an action-packed day! We started with a tour of the Buck, then gathered in Drexler to watch a short film about the Buck’s mission, followed by talks from five Buck scientists who shared their stories of becoming scientists and described the projects they’re working on. The kids were fascinated! Then it was time for hands-on science! Several more Buck scientists led cool activities in slime-making, DNA extraction, and rocket launching. The experiments were a huge hit and we could barely tear everyone away for lunch. Luckily, lunch was a feast – thank you to our wonderful Facilities team for the delicious spread! We ended with hang out time in our courtyard. I think the kids were pretty enthralled by their parents’ place of work!

Our next community seminar is on Dec 3, 2025 at 11am PT. Register today: https://www.buckinstitute.org/events/lblseminars/

Topic: Personalized Medicine and Behavior Change
Speaker: Jennifer Lovejoy, PhD; Transitional and Behavioral Scientist, Phenome Health

What's this next seminar about?
Advances in medicine mean we are getting closer and closer to our doctors being able to hand us a personalized treatment plan. In addition to drugs and supplements, such a plan would also suggest what we should – and shouldn’t – eat, and how much to exercise. Yet we know a lot of this already - and we’re still not doing it! Dr. Lovejoy brings her experience with behavioral coaching to give you tips on how to stick to your plan for optimizing your wellness.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors!
