This fall, we’re launching our Lunchtime Lecture series. On the second Friday of the month, you can enjoy a presentation by a member of our Scientific Council on topics ranging from medicine to dinosaurs to the edges of the universe.
All lectures will be held at noon in the MSC Theater at the Maryland Science Center and will last an hour, including time for questions and answers. Admission is free; no registration is required. Feel free to bring your lunch or purchase lunch from Elements Café on the first floor of the Maryland Science Center.
