At ExperiMentors, kids learn real science while having fun
"We wanted to tie in all the science they've been learning and make this day focused," said Sadhna Vora '02, this year's ExperiMentors director, who worked with several other students to produce the crime-themed Science Day. "I think there are ways to make science lots of fun and exciting. That's the goal of this program," she said.

Dental Medicine School provides free oral cancer screenings
The School of Dental Medicine provided free oral cancer screening to the general public last Saturday, May 12. The School is a founding member of the Oral Cancer Partnership along with Boston University and Tufts Schools of Dental Medicine and the Forsyth Institute. Their goal is to provide free oral cancer screening and to increase public awareness of the disease, which kills more people than melanoma. Caught early, this disease is more easily treatable and much less devastating. R. Bruce Donoff, Dean of the School of Dental Medicine (standing at left), screens Hoover Puerta, facilities assistant. The screening took only a few minutes and no cancer was found.
