There are remarkable events happening in Davis during the year that you don't want to miss. Here is our list!
Picnic Day
Picnic Day
Picnic Day is a long standing UC Davis tradition. It usually takes place during the second week of April, when the weather is getting warmer. During a whole Saturday, hundreds of activities take place, ranging from a Doxie Derby race to science activities for children. It is family-friendly environment, where UC Davis students and the UC Davis community gather together to celebrate our community.
With all these exciting activities, it can become hard to decide which ones to attend! To help you with that there is App and a website https://picnicday.ucdavis.edu/. You can visit the website to give a look to all the diverse activities that Picnic Day has to offer.
Picnic day is also an exciting day for IGG. We use this opportunity to make science activities to children and share basic genetics concepts with the community. We usually have two stands: we make "DNA" bracelets using colored beads as nucleotides, and set up a glowing booth, with animals expressing GFP. Isn't it cool? During the previous weeks to Picnic Day, our Community and Outreach coordinates sends an email to recruit volunteers. Don't miss the opportunity to participate!
