Chelsea ColleyAspects of science and research touch our lives every day, but all too often as adults we forget the sense of wonder and interest that we may have had in science when we were children. Everything is Science, Lexington’s free community science festival aims to bring some of that back into our lives. Called EiS for short, the festival has evolved into an opportunity for adults to exercise their brains in a casual atmosphere: visit local breweries and pubs, ask questions, and generally learn about something they might not have encountered in daily life.
“We are excited to be back for 2022 and partnering with some very fun venues, including two new spots — Ethereal Brewing at Cornerstone and Old North Bar at Greyline Station,” said graduate student organizer Rupinder Kaur.
The 2022 festival will run from Feb. 21-25 and features an overall theme of “The Elements of Life,” with five nights of talks from experts and enthusiasts on topics ranging from water access and sustainability to imaging the heart, to the physics of music. Talks are short, running just 20-25 minutes with no slides, structured for anyone to understand, and questions for speakers are highly encouraged.
