Monthly Q&A With Real Scientists
This is a free public event that is hosted in downtown Eau Claire on the second Tuesday of each month during the school year at 2 Roots Gallery. The goal of Ask-A-Scientist is to highlight relevant scientific work happening at UWEC and beyond, and give the public an opportunity to ask their questions about science directly to scientists engaged in that work.
To be added to a monthly email list for Ask-A-Scientist events, or to propose a topic or speaker, please email Matt Jewell at jewellmc@uwec.edu.
