We believe science is best when it’s shared. Our MDI Science Cafés provide relaxed and fun forums in which to learn about the science that affects your life.
At each Science Café, a scientist gives a short presentation in everyday language about his or her work and its implications. The floor is open for questions and discussion. It can get lively and it’s always engaging. Each Café lasts about one hour, and refreshments are available. MDI Science Cafés are open to the public and free of charge.
MDI Science Cafés are part of the international Science Café and Cafés Scientifique movement to promote public engagement with science.
** Given the concerns and rapidly changing situation surrounding COVID-19, MDI Biological Laboratory has made the decision to cancel all public events, courses and conferences until June 30, 2020. Our top priority is the safety of our employees, supporters and community. We are currently exploring the possibility of remotely hosting some events.
In addition, in the coming days we will be uploading video recordings, informational sessions and science educational programming to our website and social media platforms. If there is a topic you would like to learn more about, please let us know by emailing development@nullmdibl.org. We’d love to put together a Zoom meeting where you can engage in a conversation with our scientists and students. **
