FAU's inaugural Research Encounter last week saw more than 300 attendees come through the doors of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute to visit 12 stations of hands-on exhibits highlighting research happening across the university.
Attendees learned about Astro, a robotic dog, flew drones through hoops, saw brain waves and met Fenway, a real-life canine who provides assistance to wounded warriors.
