Welcoming Curiosity

We believe that science should be accessible and engaging. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex scientific concepts and everyday curiosity through an informal, community-driven setting. After the talk by a guest speaker, there is a question and answer session and general discussion. Anyone can ask a question and those which begin "This might be a stupid question but ……. ?" are positively welcomed.
