MSU Summer Camps
MSU hosts a number of camps on campus, generally during the summer, and we have the pleasure of joining them for several! Whether it takes a few hours, an entire day or a couple weeks, we are able to showcase physiology and show our temporary physiologists several techniques of human subjects’ laboratory research.
