Did you know that St. Louis is one of the top regions in the country for BioScience research and was named the “King of Algal Energy” in a 2009 poll by Biofuels Digest?

On Sunday, September 19th, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and the St. Louis Cardinals will be celebrating our area’s continued scientific success with “BioScience Day at the Ballpark.” Come join us for a pre-game expo highlighting this area’s leading plant and life science companies and organizations representing our tremendous scientific strength in the region and our potential to positively change the landscape of St. Louis and the world.

After attending the expo, please help us cheer on the Cardinals as they play the San Diego Padres, a team hailing from one of our top rival cities in the BioScience research field.

The St. Louis Cardinals have set aside 3,000 tickets at discounted prices with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Danforth Center’s World Food Day commemoration on Oct. 15 & 16.
