Sometimes people think that science is the antithesis of failure and a monolith of success. And, often, we only hear about the success in science: the innovative new treatment, the life-saving discovery, a novel pathway that will unlock the mysteries of disease… Surely success should be celebrated, but it can never fully be appreciated without understanding that failure is a large part of it. In science, failure is at the very core of its evidence base and a much-needed tool for development. It is something all scientists experience.

taste of science San Antonio is embracing failure in the month of October and partnering with our national taste of science collaborators to host an event that talks failure in science. Join us Wednesday, October 30th, 2019 for our version of Science Fail Fest. We will feature Pub style Science Fail Trivia- with a chance to win some really cool prizes!
