The Plant Metabolic Network (PMN) once again left a lasting impression at the recent STEAM Expo Days event during the MSU Science Festival. Led by Charles Hawkins, director of PMN, a dedicated team of volunteers including Danielle Hoffman, Matt Stata, and Hillary Fischer engaged with approximately 300 students, showcasing an innovative outreach activity focused on the chemical nature of fragrance in fruits.
Titled "Why do Bananas Smell so A-Peeling," the activity captivated attendees with its hands-on approach and interactive demonstrations. Through engaging discussions and captivating experiments, participants were introduced to the fascinating world of plant metabolism and chemistry.
