Athens Science Café

Billed as conversations not lectures, science cafés are meetings held in places like coffee houses, pubs and community centers where everyday people come together and learn about a variety of topics from professional scientists. Tonight, July 9 is the next meeting, and it couldn't be timed better: the science of ice cream.

It’s summer in Athens and what screams “summer” more than incessant heat and 100% humidity levels? ICE CREAM! The Athens Science café is excited to host Dr. Bill Kerr, Professor in UGA’s Department of Food Sciences and Technology to talk about the sweet science of ice cream helping keep you cool this summer.

The Athens Science Café and its UGA Chapter are led by many our best community-minded faculty, students and staff. As we all should, they care about our community and they care about science, a powerful combination. And as they seek to explore and explain our world and how it works, we gain a better understanding of our place in it and how it might work a little better. Come on out to Broad 9A this evening and be a part of learning something fun.
