A casual hangout to meet and chat with others who like science. No agenda, no program, just conversation! 

ISC invites you to come hang out with other science fans for drinks and casual conversation at Cork Lounge on Addison. Whether you’re working in science (or was until this administration) or just interested in science discoveries and research, this is a great time to meet like-minded folks! We’d really like to hear what you’re thinking about all things science — outreach, funding, events, communication, publications, positions, and more.

• Want to share the latest cool science-y thing you learned? Join us!
• Want to vent (and maybe strategize) about cuts to NIH, NSF, EPA, CDC, etc? Join us!
• Want to meet others who just happen to like science? Join us!
• Want to possibly get involved in science outreach in Chicago? Join us!!
