On Sunday, April 24, watch Director of the Center for Research Computing Jarek Nabrzyski take a live, three-dimensional scan of Mike Golic’s head. Later on that evening, hear from Mollie Limb, a student at the University, discussing the transportation program she started through the Harper Cancer Research Institute to help cancer patients get to and from their scheduled appointments.
The next morning, April 25, Brett Peters, assistant director of the Notre Dame Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility (ND-LEEF), will discuss the eagle nest at St. Patrick’s County Park and their efforts to fund a live, in-nest eagle camera.

Later Richard Taylor, associate vice president for research and professor of chemistry and biochemistry, will provide a live tour of the first dedicated research building, McCourtney Hall.
