Science Café Columbia

We’re bringing it back to basics. Science Café Columbia will connect scientists this fall with the community at Broadway Brewery to explain how their work relates to the elements of earth, wind, water and fire.

We hope the combination of good food, conversation and beer will stoke your curiosity. Plan to kick it all off in August as part of Bond LSC’s Building Bonds Initiative.

About

A “science café” is an informal gathering where scientists share their research or expertise with the community in a dynamic, interactive format. There is no powerpoint, but there is plenty of conversation, Q&A, and sometimes show-and-tell.

Science Café Columbia is held at 6 pm on the second Monday of the month during MU’s fall and spring semesters at Broadway Brewery, 816 E Broadway in Columbia, Missouri.  Past topics have ranged from Neanderthals to autism, epidemics, volcanoes, Alzheimer’s, and whether Pluto should be a planet.

All are welcome—and encouraged—to attend.
