Join WiCOR for our Science Spectacular as part of Science Expeditions, the annual campus open house. This event will feature faculty members from WiCOR sharing about “How to Build a Habitable Planet”. They will describe: how planets form, the importance of geology, oceans and atmospheres (and what the Earth teaches us), how we find exoplanets, and how we’re investigating the origins of life on Earth.

All Science Expeditions events are free and open to the public!
