USA Science & Engineering Festival 2020

The Noisy Planet team and colleagues from the NIDCD will participate in the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C., on April 25-26. We will be located in The Brain section within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) pavilion. The festival is a national effort to advance STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education and to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. The event is expected to attract more than 300,000 visitors.

At the NIDCD interactive exhibit, participants will explore how our senses work together to help us interact with the world. They will learn how noise can harm hearing and steps they can take to protect their hearing. Participants will also discover how our ability to hear and maintain balance relies on the tens of thousands of sensory hair cells in the inner ear. STEM enthusiasts of all ages can explore whether taste alone provides our sense of flavor or whether smell also plays a role. And visitors will have a chance to use smartphone apps to learn about frequencies and their relationship to pitch.
