To help us kick off our 10th anniversary festival, we’re bringing our most admired science communication friends together at Caveat to throw our second ever SciComm Block Party! We'll have tables with demonstrations, interactive activities, and even some exotic creatures to meet. We invite you to celebrate with us and kick back with fellow NYC science advocates and unashamed nerds whose sense of wonder is alive and kicking. Cheers!

Activities will include:

-Touch a real (human or animal) brain

-Play synapse pong

-Put your city under the microscope

-Control a friend’s muscle movements

-Meet some charismatic arthropods

…And more!

Astronomy on Tap brings astronomers, astronomy educators, and other astronomy professionals and enthusiasts to the bar for fun and informative talks, interactive games, and prizes!  Join us as we drink in the universe. 

This month, just in time for an April Fool's reprisal, we present Silly Science!  And we don't want to give any more than that away.  Join us for FREE at Pete's Candy Store!!

Just in time to almost have forgotten April Fools, we’ll be looking at some serious and funny science. Presentations by:
–Levben Parsons, Rutgers U
–Mark Popinchalk, CUNY Grad Center
PLUS interactive games, prizes, and a whole barrel full of monkeys! (April Fools about one of those…)

Doors open at 6:45 PM
Event begins at 7:00 PM
