The Story Collider: Defying Expectations

True, personal stories about science come to life! Join us for an intimate evening outdoors at Waller's Coffee to hear science stories from both scientists and non-scientists on the theme "Defying Expectations". You'll hear stories that will make you cry, laugh and everything in between. Learn more about the storytellers here!
If you aren't convinced to come, take it from one of our past attendees who said, "Thank you so, so much for last night's incredible program - I am still riding high from the absolute wonder and elation and delight and soulfulness of the evening. I felt so moved and my heart remains so full after hearing the stories, and I am just over the moon for the magic there. The evening was such a gift."
