Science Cafe

Third Thursdays
May - September
7 - 8 p.m.

The Science Cafe returns this spring as an "Art and Science Cafe" during Cocktails in the Garden for a series of discussions that will explore the unique and innovative ways that artists and scientists work together.

The series will address innovative projects such as collaboration between the center for Chemical Evolution and Out of Hand Theater that resulted in a FlashMob titled Group Intelligence and how an Emory professor created an artistic piece by transforming scientific data into music.

Visitors are encouraged to arrive early and sip from the featured "creative cocktail" as they discuss its botanical ingredients with Garden staff. The relaxed atmosphere allows visitors to ask questions, explore new topics, become informed and talk with scientists.
