LSU Science Café
LSU Science Café is a public outreach event where LSU faculty members talk about their exciting research in an informal setting. Sponsored by the LSU Office of Research & Economic Development, LSU Science Café is held on the last Tuesday of each month (except in December) from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at the historic Varsity Theatre, at the North Gates of the LSU campus.
Doors open at 5 PM. Talk begins at 6 PM. Join us for an engaging conversation with an LSU professor about a particular topic of research. Remember, people of all ages are welcome, so please spread the word and join us for a fun and informative night!
LSU Science Café is presented in partnership with Campus Federal Credit Union and WRKF 89.3 FM, public radio in Baton Rouge. The faculty liaison and MC for Science Café is Professor Prosanta Chakrabarty, the Edwin K. Hunter Chair for Communication of Science Research and Curator of Fishes at LSU. You can contact him at prosanta@lsu.edu.
