Attend a Science Café
Science Cafés are live events that take place in casual settings, are open to everyone from the community, and feature an engaging conversation with researchers about a particular topic.
Science Cafés welcome people who may or may not typically get involved with scientific discussions. They are not exclusive to researchers.
