Every time a chicken lays an egg, it (and sometimes the others around it) get into a chorus of song. Its the chicken egg song, and every chicken knows it!

After weeks of hard work, the Flatbush Faces and Voices mural was unveiled to the community this weekend! Artists Annie and Hana dedicated their artistic expertise and love of community to create this amazing piece. You can learn more about the project HERE. You can check out some of the interviews (including Ms. Carmen's) on their Instagram page. The mural is on display on the corner of Flatbush Ave and Parkside Ave, alongside the wall of the Duane Reade. Cheers to community! Our young scientists have been busy providing care to our garden. So far, we've harvested lots of mint and lemon balm which we used to make yummy tea to taste test at home. Leafy greens such as collards, kale, and lettuce, have been grown to feed our backyard flock of chickens. Young scientists have taken home cherry tomatoes and three different types of basil. We've been impatiently waiting for our cucumbers to be ready. Oh so soon! There are amazing things happening at the Lab and within the community! A few weeks ago we were invited to participate in a community mural project led by two community visionaries, Annie and Hanna. As an added bonus, the mural was being put together in the Lab basement! The progression from idea to concept has bee amazing to witness! You can get a sneak peek into the project on their Instagram page. After weeks of hard work, the mural is ready to be unveiled! We would love to invite you to the Flatbush Faces and Voices mural unveiling celebration on Sunday, August 7th, 2022 at 3 pm. 724 Flatbush (around the corner from Duane Reade) Feel free to invite your family and friends to celebrate with us!  What an amazing week! We've recently begun working with the Cypress Hills Development Corporation to present our science workshops in English and Spanish. For a long time, something we've always wanted to do was teach science in Spanish. This week we got to do just that and it was truly a wonderful experience! Fue un placer educar a nuestros futuros científicos en mi idioma nativo. Gracias por la oportunidad, espero volver a hacerlo. La representación es importante. |
