This year, we are kicking off our first annual GIOS Field Day, where we bring the students to the professionals! This event aims to immerse the students in a professional setting, seeing the scientists in action, as well as mitigate the transit of immobile equipment and reduce any limited expression of the profession itself.

During each tour, a representative of the organization will give an overview of the day-to-day functions and walk through some of the equipment or resources that are specific to this space and commonly used there.

Field Day will include visits to the following locations:

• Molina Animal Care Center at the Aquarium of the Pacific
• UCI Samueli School of Engineering Research Labs
• Orange Coast College Dennis Kelly Aquarium
