Purdue Day at the Indiana State Fair
Laurie Swift, a recruitment coordinator for Purdue's College of Science, explains the unique climbing abilities of the Tokay gecko to Isaac Duckworth of Martinsville, Ind., Wednesday (Aug. 15) during Purdue Day at the Indiana State Fair. Purdue President France A. Córdova toured tents and exhibits throughout the day, participated in a pep rally and rode the Boilermaker Special during a parade. Among the Purdue exhibits were a live public demonstration of a laparoscopic spay surgery on a dog; the Genomics eXplorer, which invited visitors to explore the importance of plants and plant cells; Waste Into Watts, which took a closer look at how Purdue Agriculture researchers are turning trash into electricity with the "tactical biorefinery;" and ID Theft Prevention in 3-D. The Indiana State Fair runs through Sunday (Aug. 19).
