Science Talks
Science Café Raleigh
Science Café is a monthly event where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can participate in topical discussions with leaders in the fields of science and technology. Hosted by local Sigma Xi chapters and the Museum, these monthly talks are located in coffee shops, bars and restaurants around Raleigh and promote discussion of science in an informal community setting.
Visiting Lecturers
Throughout the year, prominent researchers share their expertise with Museum visitors during presentations, discussions and informal talks.
