Fashion Meets Science

We worked with fashion instructors, students, and alumni at the Vancouver Community College to create science-inspired outfits for the 2019 Vancouver Kids’ Fashion Week. The “Model Organisms” collection designers visited our lab to take inspiration from our work with yeast and fruit flies, and we put together a video about our work and an interactive booth for kids to visit during the event.

Here are some of our team’s photos from this fun and creative collaboration:

We collaborated with the Vancouver Public Library to develop a display about epigenetics as part of the 2018 Morph Exhibition about changing cities.
