Heart Smart July 16, 2010

'Heart Smart,' a 500-square-foot English and Spanish traveling exhibition, exposes students and visitors to scientific research and also educates them about the prevention of disease. The interactive components of 'Heart Smart' engage visitors in the subject of heart health by inviting them to take some simple personal measurements (e.g., blood pressure, height, weight, waist size, and self-reported health habits). The exhibit also informs visitors about the research process and invites them to contribute their health and demographic data - on an anonymous basis - to real life research.
