description Numerous small- scale science outreach activities go on every day in Puerto Rico, yet the 13th RCMI International Symposium on Health Disparities provided the perfect venue to target a larger group of students interested in science careers. In collaboration with the RCMI, the Universidad Central del Caribe, Ponce School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, and the University of Puerto Rico- Rio Piedras joined forces to offer hands-on demonstrations and activities to 150 talented students from public and private schools from multiple regions of the Island. During the next five hours, students and their teachers participated in 14 different demonstrations in six different health related areas such as proteomics and genomics, HIV prevention, and brain plasticity, among others. The main facilitator for this event was Eddy Rios-Olivares, PhD, MPH from the Universidad Central del Caribe.
