To help us kick off our 10th anniversary festival, we’re bringing our most admired science communication friends together at Caveat to throw our second ever SciComm Block Party! We'll have tables with demonstrations, interactive activities, and even some exotic creatures to meet. We invite you to celebrate with us and kick back with fellow NYC science advocates and unashamed nerds whose sense of wonder is alive and kicking. Cheers!

-Touch a real (human or animal) brain

-Play synapse pong

-Put your city under the microscope

-Control a friend’s muscle movements
