Join us for a special Fridays on the Plaza event at the Lawndale Pop-Up Spot, where community, and science come together in a meaningful way.
Curious about what’s in the soil beneath your feet? During this interactive event, environmental scientists will be on-site offering free heavy metal soil testing for community members. Bring a small sample of soil from your yard, garden, or neighborhood space and learn about the presence of metals like lead, arsenic, and more, along with what those results mean for your health and environment.
Come be part of a conversation about environmental health, right here in Lawndale.

We’ve all heard of cause and effect, but what if our universe doesn’t actually follow this principle? That’s the question behind a recent physics study conducted by Dr. Julia Mossbridge at the Mossbridge Institute, who spent a year recording how tiny particles of light (photons) behave inside a dark, sealed box. Her goal was to test something that could be the plot of a science fiction movie: could information about the future somehow show up in experiments done in the present? The phenomenon she studied is called the “causally ambiguous duration sorting effect” or CADS for short. In simpler terms, it’s a hint that the world around us may sometimes blur the line between “before” and “after.”
