The Science Cafe is a program sponsored by the University of Iowa Environmental Health Sciences Research Center that connects UI researchers and experts with Iowa community members. These one-hour events, taking place both in-person and virtually, are structured around a presentation and group discussion about various environmental, health, and scientific topics. The in-person events for this semester will be in Mt. Vernon and transportation is provided by the University of Iowa.

The goal of the Science Cafe is to provide relevant and useful information to the public, while giving researchers an opportunity to practice sharing their expertise and/or receive community input on a research project.

The Science Cafe organizers typically invite speakers to present on requested topics, but we are taking a new approach by putting out a call for speakers/presentations. Faculty, researchers, and graduate students are encouraged to apply!

This is a rolling call but we encourage submissions by September 6 for the Fall 2022 event series. For more information and to sign up, please follow this link.
