Science House will be hosting guest lecturers speaking on a wide range of science topics. Admission is always free, but seating is limited so reserve well in advance.
These informal sessions will bring together scientists from different fields of study to discuss a wide range of topics such as cutting edge research, how to improve the image of science, and questions as fundamental as how the universe began.
If you think that your current research may have commercial potential, stop by one of our pitch meetings to describe your entrepreneurial vision. We'll provide free business advice and perhaps even fund your business.
Team members from Science House will periodically be attending science conferences in the New York area. Meet up with us for an informal chat!
