During the Tucson Festival of Books, Science City transforms the east end of the University of Arizona Mall into an interactive space where visitors can connect directly with scientists, students, and researchers.

With more than 30 programs and departments from the University of Arizona participating, Science City offers a hands-on look at research happening across the university. Exhibits explore topics ranging from astrobiology to human connection and adapting to life in arid environments, helping visitors see how scientific discoveries relate to everyday life.

The Precision Aging Network will also be there, offering visitors an opportunity to learn more about research on healthy aging and connect with the team about ways to get involved.
