During Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar, Thinkery sends pairs of scientists out to different bars and restaurants, where the public is invited to ask them questions in an informal, relaxed setting. One of our CGC officers, Calla McCulley, was invited to participate with this program on November 7th, 2019. She was joined by Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Kanan Patel at Lala’s Little Nugget that night, and the two scientists answered science questions from members of the local Austin community for over two hours. Events like these help show members of the public that scientists are humans too and that science can be pretty powerful when trying to understand complex problems in our society.
