Curious Minds – Short Talks – Spirited Discussions

Connecting curious minds and creative scientists* over a sip of some sort.
(*and scientific thinkers including writers, artists, and historians of science)

We do this by helping researchers communicate what they do, what they know, and why it matters.

Then, in casual spaces where no science background is expected, we introduce them to audiences that enjoy exploring ideas.

72 alumni have walked into a bar for science since our start in 2012.
(see names and topics on our Cheers & Thanks page)
