Saturday Morning Science is back for 2023 at The University of Toledo with three spring programs to give the community the opportunity to learn about hot topics in modern science.
The free, public talks, which are presented by the UToledo College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, kick off 10 a.m. Saturday, March 25, in Wolfe Hall Room 1205 on Main Campus.
Dr. Tom Megeath, Distinguished University Professor of astronomy, will present “Observing the Birth of Stars With the James Webb Space Telescope: A Toledo Odyssey.”
The first session is all about UToledo astronomers exploring the universe with the James Webb Space Telescope. Dr. Tom Megeath, Distinguished University Professor of astronomy, will present “Observing the Birth of Stars With the James Webb Space Telescope: A Toledo Odyssey.”

“Saturday Morning Science is a great event for families to learn about cutting-edge as well as everyday science topics,” said Dr. Michal Marszewski, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “Our expert speakers are eager to share their science with the Toledo community through exciting and entertaining presentations designed for general audiences. Guests can enjoy complimentary coffee and bagels and learn about recent discoveries and possible careers in STEM.”
