Science Unwrapped is a free, monthly presentation series, open to the public, hosted by Utah State University's College of Science. Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to learn about the wonders, the joys, the mishaps, the fun, the unexpected detours and the excitement of scientific discovery.

We opened the program with our the Mind and Body Series in early 2009, through which we explored the fascinating interactions between our conscious and physical selves. In May 2009, we transitioned to the "Windows to the Cosmos" series, which continues through Fall 2009, in recognition of the World Year of Astronomy to investigate the wonders of space and our universe.

We hope you'll join us for this exciting journey of discovery!
