MSU Science Saturdays are designed for kids aged 10-15 (younger kids are welcome if accompanied by a parent). Participate in hands-on experiments, learn about exciting new projects and meet the scientists and MSU students who are the shaping the future in Montana.

Viruses!

We all know that viruses cause the common cold, but did you know that most viruses don't make people sick? In fact, by studying viruses, scientists can learn how to make people healthy--possibly even cure cancer! And, by studying viruses, we're learning how to build the world's smallest computer.

Presented by Brian Bothner and Trevor Douglas
