Outreach by the Palanivelu lab
The Palanivelu lab is involved in many outreach events through out the year. Our activities include conducting demonstrations, hosting educational activities, and delivering seminars (TED- and Scientific American- style) that espouse the importance of pollen to the community, especially K-12 children.
If you are a science teacher and would like to have our activities conducted in your class, please contact Ravi Palanivelu: rpalaniv@ag.arizona.edu or 520-626-2229. Also, please have your students check out the games and activities listed below.
We gratefully acknowledge funding support for all of the outreach and educational activities in the Palanivelu lab from a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to Dr. Palanivelu (IOS 1146090) and the NSF Pollen Research Community Network (RCN) grant.
