1. Link students, teachers, and the general public to the EHS and MFBS Center investigators and scientists at Oregon State University
2. Provide accurate and non-technical explanations of complex research methods and instruments used at the EHS and MFBS Centers
3. Increase student interest in the field of environmental health science by providing tangible, real-world examples of current research
4. Increase the public’s understanding of environmental health science research
5. Highlight research currently performed at the EHS and MFBS Centers
