Midday Science Cafe • Science at Cal

Midday Science Cafe is a virtual series that highlights compelling and complementary research from both UC Berkeley and Berkeley Lab, brought to you by Science at Cal’s partnership with Berkeley Lab’s Government & Community Relations Office. These events are offered virtually on the third Thursday of each month at noon PT, and they feature two early-career scientists across STEM fields. Grab your lunch and join us for some great science and discussion; questions are encouraged!

“I enjoyed the level of feedback I got during our prep sessions. In particular, I appreciated the balance between positive encouragement and frank but constructive comments on clearly communicating to a broad audience. I left feeling like I got a nice crash course on public outreach. I would definitely recommend the experience to any of my colleagues.”
Dr. Kyle Meyer, Postdoctoral Researcher, Dept. of Integrative Biology
