Outreach activities are central to IISAGE’s mission of bridging research with community engagement and interdisciplinary integration. Our outreach division concentrates on two key areas: first, amplifying the impact of IISAGE’s scientific breakthroughs and training programs; and second, fostering community involvement through citizen science initiatives aimed at pet hobbyists and museum visitors. Through engagement with the wider scientific community, we seek to broaden public understanding and encourage greater involvement in our research efforts.

IISAGE Members Shine at SICB Conference
IISAGE is starting the year off strong! Earlier this month, our members had the incredible opportunity to attend the Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology (SICB) meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Together with the Department of Biology at UAB, we hosted a booth that allowed us to connect with over 150 students from across the country! Trainees were also in attendance showcasing their research projects to SICB attendees, spreading IISAGE discoveries to the public! Dr. Eric Randolph, a postdoc at UAB, served as the lead chair on the “Transcriptomic responses” workshop!
