ABOUT CAFÉ SCI:
Bigelow Laboratory’s Café Sci is a fun, free way for you to dive into global ocean issues and opportunities with leading scientists. New for this year, each talk will feature several scientists, giving attendees an opportunity to hear from earlier career scientists and get a deeper glimpse into our collaborative research environment.

This summer, Café Sci will take place on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. ET from July 16 – August 6, virtually or in person at our laboratory in East Boothbay in our new forum space. Learn more and reserve your spot today: https://www.bigelow.org/cafesci
