Science and Society
Science On Tap

Pacific Science Center is committed to advancing the public's understanding of science and contributing to the development of a scientifically literate society. As part of that commitment, we support and sponsor a number of lectures in the Seattle area. Some are held at our facility, others are conducted at various locations.

One very special lecture series we support is Science on Tap - A Seattle Science Cafe. Science on Tap is more than just a lecture, it's a place where anyone can come explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a forum for discussing science issues with local scientists. Meetings usually last about one to two hours. The speakers give a short talk about their area of interest, followed by small group discussions, then there is time for a question and answer session and general discussion of the topic with the speaker and the audience at large.

Monthly meetings take place the last Monday of the month at the Ravenna Third Place Bookstore in Seattle at the corner of 20th Ave NE and NE 65th Street. With the help of Pacific Science Center and →KCTS, a second session is held at T.S. McHugh's on Lower Queen Anne on the first Tuesday of the month.
