This is what a scientist looks like was a special project of the 2019 St. Pete Science Festival. The intent was to highlight young professionals in STEM careers in the Tampa Bay area and to allow youth to see that these individuals might look like them, come from similar backgrounds, and/or have similar interests.
When the Science Festival was cancelled due to a Tropical Storm, the project was turned into a video.

Kudos to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital for breaking ground on a new hospital in Wesley Chapel. We are excited to see them bring specialized pediatric care closer to home for families north of Tampa Bay.
The 7th annual State of Science and Innovation took place on January 15th at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. This favorite event was once again sold out. The in-person and online audiences heard from five innovators and one special guest about the remarkable work they are doing.
2025 marked the 11th year for the St. Petersburg Science Festival and the 30th year for Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute's MarineQuest. It was a fantastic opportunity for 1200+ 4th and 5th graders on School Days and 9K+ community members on the Public Day to participate in hands-on activities exploring all facets of STEAM. Kudos to the sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and Steering Committee for another successful year.
