Science Cafés
Science Cafés are special events intended to present the public with unique opportunities to learn about psychological science in an interactive and social environment. Cafés feature lectures given by leading researchers from around the country, in conjunction with lecture-relevant hands-on activities led by the researchers and FABBS staff. Cafés are hosted in the evenings and on weekends in DC-area museums, including Smithsonian Institutions. After our DC-based programming has proved to be a success, we intend to expand the Science Cafe program to other cities.
