The Museum exhibits and preserves a historical museum collection containing over 25,000 objects focused on the history of dentistry with particular interest on dental practice and technology in the United States and Michigan dating from the 18th century to today. We are dedicated to educating our audiences about the history of dentistry through museum exhibition, related programs, research, and preservation of the collections. The tour starts at precisely 4:00 so aim to get there earlier to account for time finding the museum/attendance etc.
Flowers, plants, and gardens are not only inviting in themselves, they’re also great natural ambassadors to understand that how we use our land has significant impact on local ecosystems. Visit these enticing places and see: featured plants, gardens and points of interest, gardens and landscapes appropriate for our climate and conditions, ecologically sound horticulture in practice, and restored areas that may inspire you to engage with ecological restoration work. Important! We will be taking a bus to this location. You must meet at the league at 3:50 in order to be ready for the bus. Also, the bus will be leaving the gardens at 5:30 so expect to get back to campus a little later.
Tour and learn the interworkings of a tech startup in Ann Arbor focused on merging law and justice advocacy and technology. 15 Minute Walk from Angell Hall, must leave Central Campus by 3:40.

Tour the UM Home Lab and experience: eye tracking, facial expression autocoding, EEG, skin conductance, pulse, and other measurements.
Meet co-founded and engineer Greg Gage as he tours his facility and explains his neuroscience research. Some details about Backyard Brains and their mission: As grad students at the University of Michigan, co-founders Tim and Greg often interacted with schoolchildren during neuroscience outreach events. We often wanted to show real "spiking" activity to students, but this was impossible due to the high cost of equipment. By using off-the-shelf electronics, we designed kits that could provide insight into the inner workings of the nervous system.Our first product, the Spikerbox, uses invertebrates to help you learn about how the cells in the brain work to communicate. We also have an Muscle SpikerBox that you can use to record electrical activity produced by cells in human muscles. If the science behind these products appeals to you, you should also check out the Completo, which is a full tabletop, portable electrophysiology rig. All of our products are accompanied with Lesson Plans and Experiments to make learning (and teaching) neuroscience a breeze.
