Join us at the c.1949 beer garden with Christian Brown, Dennis Giardina, and Sarah Grasty for Ecology 101: from tree tops to seafloor!  Christian will be sharing recent findings, photos, and stories from his studies tracking Wandering Salamanders, Dennis will discuss efforts to reintroduce native orchids that once flourished in the Florida Everglades, and Sarah will take us under the sea to see how her group maps the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.

Come over to Southern Brewing & Winemaking to learn about the cutting edge research scientists right here in Tampa are using to better understand the biology of cancer and improve therapies for patients.  We are thrilled to have experts Dr. Gina DeNicola and Dr. Florian Karreth join us to share their knowledge and talk about the exciting research performed in their laboratories at the Moffitt Cancer Center.

3....2.....1.....go!  Join us at Foundation Coffee Co. for an evening of discussion with scientists whose studies take them outside of the lab and into the natural environment of Earth and beyond!  Tonight we will hear from Dennis Giardina, who works with the US Park Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission climbing trees and studying panthers, Dr. Antonio Paris, a Professor of Astronomy who is searching for Planet 9, and Mel Rogers

Join us with Dr. Lori Collins, Dr. Arturo Araujo, and John O'Meara for a lively evening of discussion centered on the evolving roles for libraries in the digital age, how mathematicians are adding their efforts to the fight against cancer, and the science of brewing beer at Fodder & Shine!  There's a little bit of everything for everyone!

Join us tonight at Southern Brewing to learn how science is used to help protect us everyday!  We are pleased to announce our panel of experts: Jaclyn Angelo, Bruce Jamison, and William Evonosky.  The evening will cover topics such as the science and technology currently used by our armed forces, advances in using genetics to solve crimes, what are exoplanets, and a first person perspective on transitioning from a U.S. Army Sergeant to an academic career.  This is an evening you won't want to miss!

Land, sea, and air...we've got you covered!  Join us for a captivating evening at c.1949 on their beautiful outdoor patio.  We are pleased to feature Dr. Paul Wetmore, who will tell us how scientists study faults and geology to determine earthquake potential...is Florida at risk???  Next, we are excited to have Mary Stanko, an expert on birds of prey and the crucial roles they play in the ecosystem, join us with a few fabulous feathered friends.  Finally, we are lucky to have Professor Jeff Ryan share his knowledge and experiences as a deep sea geochemist.  You won't want to miss their stories and fascinating experiences!

Join us for an evening of talks on cancer treatment and research at Hidden Springs Ale Works!  Tonight, two cancer researchers who are making vital contributions to the war on cancer, Dr. Eric Lau and Dr. John Mullinax, will share their stories and research.  Come and find out what is on the horizon for treating cancer and pick our experts' brains!

Join us for an evening of climate change science at The Bunker!  In tonight's session, we will learn about the impact of climate change on Florida and what we can do to help.  Join our climate experts, Trista Brophy and Christine Downs, as they share their knowledge and research!

Join us for an evening of discussions at The Refinery focusing on growing global healthcare challenges!  Tonight's talks will be presented by Dr. Amber Gum, who will speak about the increasing prevalence of depression and strategies to reverse this trend, Dr. Lindsey Shaw, who is discussing the rise in resistance to antibiotics and what's next in the "post-antibiotic era," and Justin Gibbons, who will provide an up to date perspective on malaria and the challenges of treating it.

Join us for an evening of biology at The Attic featuring Dr. David Morgan and Dr. Simon Hayward!  This evening's guest speakers lead productive and respected academic research careers studying Alzheimer's disease and cancer.  Their presentations and discussions will allow us to learn about the history and current understanding of Alzheimer's disease and take a closer look at how chemicals and environmental toxins can impact human health.
