Pet Science Fair

By
  • MIT Museum

    • A stylized banner featuring three animals, each split in half and combined with abstract scientific imagery. From left to right: a small brown dog with its right side replaced by red circular data visualization patterns; a gray cat with its right side overlaid with orange, spiky, cell-like structures; and a tabby cat with its right side blended into a green, radial, microscopic or molecular pattern. The background is black, making the vibrant visuals stand out.

    Ever wonder why your pet does that one weird thing?

    Additional information

    So do the scientists at Darwin's Ark, a community science nonprofit engaging dogs, cats, and their people in scientific discovery. 

     

    Together with the Broad Discovery Center and Darwin's Ark, we invite you to explore the latest pet research at our Pet Science Fair! 

     

    Come to the MIT Museum to ask an expert researcher about the evolutionary mysteries behind your pet's quirks and create your own pet enrichment puzzle. 

     

    Then, take a 5-minute stroll to the Broad Discovery Center to learn about the population genetics of cats, sample gathering technology, and more.
