Curiosity Starts with the Everyday.
Everyday things around us hold fascinating scientific secrets. Secret Science of Everyday Things® brings curious minds together to explore the science behind familiar experiences through engaging expert presentations and interactive discussions.
Across two connected sessions, participants discover new ideas, exchange perspectives, and dive deeper into intriguing topics through a collaborative journal-club experience. More than a lecture, each program creates an opportunity to learn something unexpected, connect with others, and keep the conversation going.
