Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar Returns to Dangerously Delicious Pies Tomorrow

D92NhgOW4AE1l04

Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar is back at Dangerously Delicious Pies (1339 H St. NE) tomorrow (June 27) from 7:30–9:30pm. What sounds like the beginning of a rather bad joke is actually a fun program created by the Fleet Science Center in San Diego that LabX now brings to DC. During Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®, local scientists enjoy something we all appreciate: a good conversation in a local bar. Head down to the pie shop, order a slice of drink (or both), and look for the sign that reads “We are scientists. Ask us anything!” The scientists this time around are focused on environmental microbiology and marine biology. You don't need a ticket, and you don't need to register. You just need your natural curiosity.

It you do ask a scientist, you can share your experience on social media with the hashtag #2scientists, and tagging @labxNAS. This is one of several DC area Two Scientists events taking place tomorrow, and the area of focus varies by location.

You can read about previous Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar events in this Washington Post article These nerdy happy hour gatherings will teach you about witches, chemistry and the mysteries of the universe. If you are a scientist who wants to participate in future Two Scientists events you can send an email to labx[at]nas.edu.
