A week in visuals: Missouri Life Sciences Week 2019

Missouri Life Sciences Week 2019 sign in front of Bond LSC building.

Missouri Life Sciences Week 2019 wrapped up on Friday. It brought us a taste of science across our broad research community at Mizzou. From students presenting their hard work in labs to core facilities showing what they do to advance the work of scientists across campus, Bond LSC was bustling with energy.

If you missed the action, get a taste of what it all in the photos from the week’s events below.
