 Our members took a behind-the-scenes tour of the Yakult Factory in Fountain Valley to see how this beneficial drink was made and invented!
From learning how Dr. Minoru Shirota discovered the beneficial probiotic (which he named Lactobacillus casei Shirota) found in Yakult to sampling some product to taking a walk through the factory, our first tour of the term was one to be remembered. What: Kayaking at Jellyfish Cove, to relax and have some fun before school starts! Cost is $10 per hour per person, but if there are more than 20 people attending, then cost will be $12 for two hours per person.

At this year's Science Safari, our club members informed incoming freshmen about events and opportunities that SAACS provides to its members. As a club, SAACS holds demonstrations and workshops for students of all grade levels, takes its members on field trips and tours, and holds biweekly meetings with guest speakers. By joining SAACS, members gain hands-on and networking opportunities in the chemical sciences to reach their educational and career goals. The club scrapbook was showcased as well, giving freshmen an inside look to events the club has done as well as a preview for what is to yet to come. UC Irvine will be hosting an undergraduate research symposium on Friday July 15th in the Chemistry Department of UCI.
They have planned a day of exciting chemistry, including a session of posters from the undergraduate attendees, high-impact seminars from UC Irvine faculty members and a networking lunch. They have added information sessions outlining how to apply for NSF graduate fellowships and graduate school. More information, a full schedule, and registration information can be found at the following site: http://www.chem.uci.edu/undergraduate-chemistry-symposium Students interested in participating can register online using the above link by June 24th. If you have any questions, you can contact Liz Jarvo at erjarvo@uci.edu or Tenley Dunn at tdunn@uci.edu. Hello SAACS members,
