CAFÉ SCIENTIFIQUE

A Happy Hour Forum for Science and Culture Hosted by the Bell Museum

Across the country and around the globe, adults who share an interest in scientific research are gathering in pubs and coffee houses for informal discussions on relevant and often provocative scientific topics. Science Cafés and Café Scientifique events are a chance for adults to exchange opinions and ideas about science and related issues.

Two years ago, the Bell Museum launched its own Café Scientifique program, a happy hour program for adults that brings research from the University of Minnesota and beyond into some of the Twin Cities' most unique and atmospheric bars and restaurants. The Bell Museum's Café Scientifique explores science and natural history from distinct and surprising viewpoints, drawing connections between scientific research, culture, environment and everyday life.

The Bell Museum's Café Scientifique features guests from a variety of fields with diverse and relevant expertise. Past events have included scientific researchers, policy experts, bioethicists, community leaders, cultural historians, artists, and authors for dynamic discussions that bridge the gap between science and culture.

From first-hand stories of research and discovery, to controversial topics that challenge our ideas and opinions about the world around us, the Bell Museum's Café Scientifique puts science and culture on the menu!
