Researchers at Beckman have always conducted outreach and public engagement activities. Now, Beckman's outreach team helps researchers plan and execute them. Beckman's outreach manager plans the annual Beckman Institute Open House, sets strategy for institute-level outreach activities and offers support to researchers conducting their own activities.
Please contact Lexie Kesler for your outreach planning needs.
Join the Owl Patrol, Beckman’s outreach committee
The Owl Patrol is a committee of Beckman researchers and staff members who are passionate about sharing the institute's research with those outside the building. The committee is named in homage to a 13-year-old Arnold O. Beckman. An inventor and innovator from the start, he created an unofficial Boy Scout troop — the original Owl Patrol — in his hometown of Cullom, Illinois. To get started, request to join the Owl Patrol team on Microsoft Teams.
