Lab tours. Live demos. Real talk with scientists. Students from South Gate High School got an inside look at UCLA's breakthrough research in medicine and disease treatment. Their curiosity and questions brought so much energy to our labs! 🔬🧬🧫

Ever wondered what makes stem cells so special? 🧫🔬

Stop by an interactive stem cell research exhibit at Powell Library to learn about the science that’s rewriting the future of human health.
