NEXT MEETING

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.
