General Lab Tours
All lab tours will taking place on Friday, January 13th. The general lab tours are divided into six tour groups that are listed below.
Each will have tours departing the Harvard Science Center at 2 pm, 2:40 pm, and 3:20 pm. See the location next to the group number for the starting location!
No need to sign up in advanced, just come to the room below at either 2 pm, 2:40 pm, and 3:20 pm.
The labs within each tour group are listed in "Principal Investigator - Specialization" format.
Group 1: Science Center 104
