Lab Coats Not Required is a campus organization aimed at public science outreach. These science café events bring together Oberlin students, faculty, and community members for lighthearted, informal presentations on the role of science in society. Our goal is to demystify science and give undergrads a chance to learn how to communicate their science effectivley.
