MIZZOU INFO 10/21/2026 - 10/27/2026

Mizzou's popular Saturday Morning Science events aren't your typical science lectures. Expect to be entertained, see demonstrations, learn a lot - and best of all - you'll want to come back for more.

Saturday, Oct. 31
10 a.m.
Room 171 Bond Life Sciences Center

Presented by Dr. Rob Myers, Director of the MU Center for Regenerative Agiculture, this presentation will tie into the Halloween theme with a discussion of how healthy soils are important for growing healthy pumpkins and all kinds of other plants, including the many food plants we eat. Use of cover crops such as crimson clover and rye are one important way farmers are working to improve the health of soil. Did you know that a teaspoon of healthy soil can have more soil microbes than there are people on Planet Earth? Come grow your knowledge on plants and soils!

Free and open to the public. Attendees of all ages are welcome.
Light refreshments will be served.

Are you married or in a long-term cohabiting relationship for at least one year? Are both partners ages 45–64, overweight or obese and does at least one partner have type 2 diabetes? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a University of Missouri research study examining how couples’ daily routines—such as sleep and activity patterns—and relationship quality relate to cardiovascular health and everyday well-being.

Participation involves one or two in-person research visits at the University of Missouri, followed by a 20-day at-home period. During this time, both partners will wear a wrist device that measures sleep and activity and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn on the arm, complete brief smartphone-based surveys four times per day and return devices at the end of the study.

Each partner can earn up to $215 for full participation, for a total of up to $430 per couple.

For more information, contact Eunjin Tracy in the Department of Human Development and Family Science, University of Missouri — eunjintracy@missouri.edu.

Location: CTSU West, University Hospital, 5th Floor, 1 Hospital Dr, Columbia, MO 65201

Participants are needed for research on attention that involves performing cognitive tasks while eye movements and brainwaves are recorded. The cognitive tasks measure aspects of attention and involve making manual responses to stimuli that are presented on a computer screen. We will record the speed and accuracy of your responses and brainwaves to study attention and perception.  
 
Payment is $60 per experimental session which takes 3 hours. We also have 1-hour sessions for $20 payment. Participants must be 18 to 35 years of age, have normal or corrected-to-normal visual acuity, normal color vision and no history of neurological problems. 

For more info, please contact us at attentionlab@missouri.edu.

The war on cancer has been a global mission for more than half a century, but the battle is at an inflection point. Stunning scientific advances sit uneasily alongside steep and growing hurdles to patient access, especially in rural areas, and a surge in cases among young adults. It’s all happening amid a major shift in how cancer research is funded and carried out. Caleb Hellerman discusses what he learned in a year of reporting on cancer for CNN. Free pizza and snacks will be available at 4:30 p.m. and the talk will begin at 5 p.m. in Reynolds Journalism Institute's Smith Forum, room 200. This talk is part of the Smith/Patterson Science Lecture Series.
