Our Mission

Real science. Real conversation. Real bar.

Science on Tap is a monthly gathering in Philadelphia that features public discussion on engaging science topics, but we’re also more than that. Made up of a consortium of six Philadelphia institutions, we care about bringing science out of the labs and the hallowed halls of academia and sharing it with the public.

Our goal is to have a positive impact on our local community, and we are committed to:

  • Providing engaging and compelling science programming for a variety of Philadelphia citizens.

  • Making science accessible and providing welcoming spaces to learn, talk, and yes, even disagree.

  • Representing diversity in the field. We want to make sure everyone sees themselves in science.

  • Collaboration across institutions and disciplines.

And last but not least, we are 100% committed to context and truth. That means we talk about both science and the history of science.

 
“We believe in enthusiasm for science in a fun, spirited, and accessible way.”
