Science On Tap Saratoga is a monthly series of informal talks led by scientists that explores current research topics and the importance of science in our daily life. The goal of these events is to create a relaxed atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Our Science on Tap – Home Edition is co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Program and Sustainable Saratoga.
While Science On Tap Saratoga typically takes place at The Parting Glass in downtown Saratoga Springs, COVID has changed the way we do things, at least temporarily, and we are now holding these events online via Zoom.
Join Dr. Myla Aronson, from Rutgers University, as she discusses “Restoring Nature in the Concrete Jungle.”
Tuesday, October 27 at 7 pm online via Zoom.
